White People Are Being Forgotten, Right?

The rhetoric around this accident has been a combination of interesting and kind of horrifying. There's a real play to make this a thing that, you know, white people are being forgotten. Jesse Waters on Fox said they were trying to fight environmental racism by dumping toxic chemicals on poor white people. Tucker Carlson had a whole spiel about how the fact that they were white was why their plate was being ignored. JD Vance basically said that Pete Buttigieg was so wrapped up in fake woke issues that he was ignoring real things like train safety.
