Pollution is racist

African-Americans and Hispanics breathe in far more deadly air pollution than they are responsible for making, a new study said.
Scientists calculate that Hispanics on average breathe in 63 percent more of the pollution that leads to heart and breathing deaths than they make. For African-Americans the figure is 56 percent, according to a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
On the other hand, non-Hispanic whites on average are exposed to 17 percent less air pollution than they make.

This sounds like a study that will be debunked in a few months.

National Academy of Sciences, eh? "Science" is now on the exact same level as bone rattling and entrail gazing.
