Which is an example of environmental racism? How do you define it? Environmental racism is a term used to describe racial discrimination in environmental policies, such as the deliberate targeting of communities of color for toxic waste disposal and the siting of polluting industries. Other examples of environmental racism are the exclusion of people of color from mainstream environmental organizations. The United Church of Christ report in 1987 defines environmental racism as racial discrimination that involves deliberate practices to harm people of color. The author of this book, Melissa Checker, explains environmental racism in a Southern town.
