Thesis Statement for the paper:
Usually the common form of racism is seen as prejudice, discrimination, hatred, violence or superiority of one race over another. However, there is one form of racism that has been overlooked and it takes place without people even being aware of it.
I am talking about environmental racism. This form of racism occurs in marginalized, poor, immigrant, or communities of color. The living environment of these low- income communities isn’t safe because they are surrounded by toxic wastes, factories, and fracking plants.
These communities often don’t have clean drinkable or usable water for the household, the air is polluted, and the children don’t have safe playgrounds. Why the environmental racism is being left unnoticed and why there are hardly any resources to point out to these environmental damages and disproportionate split of the environmental cost?
The reason I want to write and research about the environmental racism is the fact that there are so many environmental lobbyist and people concern about the future of our planet, but nobody really sees that the highest level of environmental pollution and degradation happens around people that have been overlooked and underestimated from the other social ranks of the society, just around those people that do not have power and resources to make a change.
