Its not "woke" to mention that already disadvantaged communities are worst affected by air pollution, its just a really awful reality.

  Which communities are disadvantaged? Your skin color makes you disadvantaged? They never once say the word “poor”. It’s not a word the woke can say because it’s counter to their wannabe radical revolutionary vernacular. Read it again.

    Yes, white administrators of the middle 20th century intentionally concentrated freeways in Black communities. The color of your skin is a strong and causal factor in the air quality you endure.

    > Your skin color makes you disadvantaged Quite literally, yes. Communities were segregated for decades and the repercussions are still felt today. Its why communities divided by freeways are typically made up Black people or other people of color. Gas and oil plants are almost always near these same communities as well, leading to them experiencing the harshest effects of pollution.
