Environmental Racism by Morgan Waugen https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3 Ask family what they think environmental racism is, get their answers, and then tell them what it actually is. What did they say? What do they think of the idea? Do you believe that this is a real issue or not, and why? en-us 2020-10-18 21:59:38 UTC 2020-10-19 15:53:49 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841592329 When I asked my dad if he knew what environmental racism was he said no, surprisingly. I then explained to him what it was and he said he is completely against it and that it sounds like something Trump would endorse.]]> 2020-10-19 15:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841592329 https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841592535 They didn't really know what the definition was but they had herd the term before. But to be honest I didn't know what it really was until very recently. After I told them what it was (from the brief definition and examples I found online) they agreed that they did think it was real and a legitimate problem in our society.

Once I explained, she said she couldn't believe people "could be fine with something like that" https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841592787 2020-10-19 15:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841592787 https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841595664 My mom had no idea what it meant. I explained what it was and she gave me some examples of how poorer people back home face pretty severe health consequences since they have to live near/work at factories that tend to pollute a lot]]> 2020-10-19 15:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841595664 https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841596003 Doesn't know. That's just the way things are. Why are you discussing this in your justice class? So it's more about modern ethics. ]]> 2020-10-19 15:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841596003 https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841596502 My mom was pretty well aware of what it is, and that it is a major issue. She is on top of reading the news, and has read a lot about it ]]> 2020-10-19 15:50:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841596502 parents didn't understand at first, however they knew that it did happen once I explained it to them. People of color were placed where a lot of big industrial places were being built because they made it cheap and focused on selling it to the minorities. https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841597002 2020-10-19 15:50:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841597002 https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841597957 My mom didnt know & didnt care tbh. She wasn't really interested in the conversation so it was kinda hard to get any information.

Interestingly, this seems to have changed since the last time we talked. https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841599032 2020-10-19 15:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841599032 didn't know. talked about the building of highways that have segregated black communities from white ones, go on the other side of the river. https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841600914 2020-10-19 15:51:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841600914 lsdealme https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841604935 my family had no idea about it, we have never heard about it in brazil. when i explained to them, they said they see it as a real problem ]]> 2020-10-19 15:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841604935 My parents really didn't know. My mom was close but my dad thought that it was about people not wanting certain types of plants because of their race. https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841607277 2020-10-19 15:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mwaugen/gmeehzb7m8nvjvq3/wish/841607277
