Racism Rears Up with WMI

There has been considerable debate whether Waste Management has been racist in the placement of its landfills. No one wants landfills so WMI ends up placing them in communities with the least power. They may be poor white or black. At least landfill placement results in classism and from experience racism also, since African American communities are still the least powerful. Thus the racism is true.
