Yes, these people are most certainly beyond parody. An actual headline in Thursday’s Los Angeles Times informs us that “White drivers are polluting the air breathed by L.A.’s people of color.” So now Whitey, whose perfidy simply knows no bounds, is breathing free and easy and leaving the poor people of color gasping for breath. Oh, when will the racism end?

L.A. Times staff writer Sammy Roth, who penned this nonsense, still proudly sports a mask in his Twitter photo, heedless of the fact that even Old Joe Biden’s COVID-19 czar has conceded that masks don’t do anything but make their wearers feel virtuous. Roth still feels guilty, however, because he is white, and thus “couldn’t help but consider [his] own complicity while reading a new study from USC researchers, finding that Angelenos who drive more tend to be exposed to less air pollution — and Angelenos who drive less tend to be exposed to more pollution.”
Yes, that seems counterintuitive, as anyone can attest who has ever been on the Los Angeles freeways, creeping along in the traffic and breathing in the exhaust fumes. But Roth is serious: “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.”
Okay. So people who drive less are exposed to more air pollution, and people who drive more are exposed to less air pollution, and this is all because of racism. Why? The real answer to that question is this: it’s racism because everything is racism these days. Air pollution is racist and there are alleged disparities in how much white people and racial minorities are exposed to it because there is an entire industry these days devoted to finding new sources of racism.
