Environmental racism
In: Other
In short, “environmental racism” is a phenomenon by which environmental legislation/practices/consequences have a disproportionately large (negative) impact on certain races/ethnic groups. This may be because factories which produce toxic pollutants/emissions are disproportionately built in minority areas, or because areas prone to flooding or other natural disasters tend to have more minorities living there, but can also be on a more global scale such as the impact of electronics recycling and electronic waste management which is mostly felt by China, where the rest of the world outsources it to.
