The Clinton administration, through the Environmental Protection Agency, has come up with a new and interesting way to destroy job opportunities for racial minorities.
Environmental racism is an idea that's been kicking around greenie circles for a while.
President Clinton is a believer. One of his first executive orders, issued in February 1993, directed all agencies to take environmental racism into consideration when making a decision about anything. In fact, permits could be challenged at any time by anyone. A study by the Dallas-based National Center for Policy Research found that there is simply no correlation between high concentrations of minorities and concentrations of hazardous waste facilities. Right here in New York City, there is a major example of what appears to be the exact opposite of environmental racism.
