National Geographic tweet suggests July 4 fireworks are racist

It is truly amazing how some people read the tweet as suggesting that fireworks are racist or targeting the black people.

I've lost my faith in humanity and this one?.... meh lol.
 
I wonder what they would do with a place like Lakewood, CO that has an eclectic mix of neighborhoods all right next to each other. How would they "explain" how the pollution disproportionately affected only the poor neighborhood, even though it is literally one street away from the "middle class" folk.

It is clear (common sense) that poor and POCs are concentrated together in those areas. They are affected. Basically the scientists are telling us what we already knew.

Utter nonsense. First of all, sense is not common, as you demonstrate here. You are common, yet have no sense. The air pollution is the same in both areas when they are literally one street over. Just saying the word "science" doesn't make anything science.

Give links where it shows that those people living in gated communities set off fireworks (legally or not) as much as those poor communities.
