Could it be minorities live in high population density areas due to economic circumstances and it makes sense as a city planner to have seer treatment centers as close to the highest concentration of sewage?

all of manhattan is densely populated...try again
Not equally dense and not schematically uniform.
But it’s ok man. You see racism everywhere. We get it. It’s a sad existence.

the backstory of how a sewage treatment plant ended up in Harlem
https://newsone.com/1411575/racial-...ntroversial — spewing fetid, rotten-egg odors
So a bunch of people with power (from their economic position) pushed to have this plant moved away from them? Did I get that right? Did someone say move it over to where black people live?
As usual it’s all economic or at least the majority of it. White people without power have been getting screwed by whites people with money since the dawn of time as well.

and the backstory of how the cross bronx expressway came to be and how it ruined the lives and neighborhoods of poor mostly minority people for the benefit of rich white people

This kind of thing SHOULD make it into the curriculum of New York school children as an example of racial and economic injustice perpetrated not so long ago.

exactly...no one is surprised this happened...it is an ingrained systemic thing that is simply accepted...everyone gets used to it
So why reduce it to a race issue when there is another characteristic that gets to the underlying problems better?

ok...we can stop talking about race and ethnicity...let's just call the people affected the marginalized people...MP for short...hopefully everyone will feel better with that change of verbiage...maybe a mod can change the title of this thread to MP

There is a big economic component to these problems. But it is pollyannish to ignore the racial aspect.
A neighborhood like Brownsville emptied out not because poor people were moving in, but because the schvartzes were moving in. That's a reality. Once that happened no one cared anymore about what happened to Brownsville. The city treated Brownsville one way when it was poor and mostly white, and a different way when it became poor and mostly black.

Yes. A term I heard plenty growing up.
Newsflash. People are racist. That’s not relegated to people with light pigment.

Thank you for acknowledging that. The other part is that it ought not to be surprising that the elected representatives of those racist people have often pursued policies that have been harmful or at best indifferent to the interests of minorities.
