Mr. McLean, perhaps I could offer what the ENRICH Project offers as its definition for “environmental racism”. The ENRICH Project was spearheaded by Dr. Ingrid Waldron. Their definition reads:
...refers to racial discrimination in the disproportionate location and greater exposure of Indigenous, Black, and other racialized communities to contamination and pollution from industry and other environmentally hazardous activities; the lack of political power these communities have to fight back against the placement of these industries in their communities; the implementation of policies that allow these harmful projects to be placed in these communities; the slow rates of cleanup of contaminants and pollutants in these communities; and the lack of representation of Black, Indigenous, and other racialized communities in mainstream environmental groups and on the decision-making boards, commissions, and regulatory bodies.
I think you'll be able to see that, when Ms. May was talking about the strategy itself, what the strategy is doing is really trying to address that definition.
