‘Finding Racism Everywhere’: LA Times Bashed For Claiming ‘White Drivers’ Polluting Air Of ‘People of Color’

According to the Los Angeles Times, the University of Southern California researchers found that white people drive more and have caused harm to people of color.

The USC study, entitled, “Local Inequities in the Relative Production of and Exposure to Vehicular Air Pollution in Los Angeles,” It is stated in the abstract that “growing knowledge of racial injustice in exposure levels” Existed in Los Angeles County, and this “tracts whose residents drive less are exposed to more air pollution, as are tracts with a less-White population.” Study blamed “decades of racially-motivated freeway infrastructure planning and residential segregation.”

“White drivers are polluting the air breathed by L.A.’s people of color,” The LA Times had the same opinion.

The study was incited “environmental justice,” writing, “The political and planning decisions behind transport infrastructure placement impact environmental justice today through vehicular air pollution,” “Decades of racist planning decisions in Los Angeles have contributed to today’s injustices in transport, health, and environmental quality,” And “non-White and poor communities are disproportionately burdened with excess pollution.”

The authors of the study proposed invasive measures towards presumably white, wealthy neighborhoods. “legalizing the construction of denser and more affordable housing in less-polluted, exclusive neighborhoods could reduce exposure disparities.”

Los Angeles Times contributor Write guiltily, “I couldn’t help but consider my own complicity” After reading the study, I saluted its perspective and added, “It may sound like a paradox, but it’s not. It’s a function of the racism that shaped this city and its suburbs, and continues to influence our daily lives — and a stark reminder of the need for climate solutions that benefit everyone.”

“I’ve benefited from the region’s sordid history as well,” He opined.

Los Angeles is home to many wealthy white residents. The coast is cleaner than the inland areas where there is smog.

Twitter ‘s “Community Notes” Initially, the Times claimed was false. “This claim is false. This assumption is based on research that those who drive more tend to be exposed to less air pollution while those who drive less tend to be exposed to more pollution. L.A. population is 48.4% Hispanic/Latino, 28.1% White only (not Hispanic).”

The Times was criticised for tweeting:
