Yes, partly - in an overwhelmingly white part of the country, the dumping would be happening in low-income white areas. But where the racism component starts to come in is that many of the low-income minority communities are the way they are because of a legacy of racism like redlining that kept minorities zoned into certain areas. But no, it's not as though racist rednecks are towing their cars a hundred miles just to dump them in a black neighborhood.

Yeah but I still don’t see the connection between redlining and dumping a car in your own neighborhood park?

Do you know for a fact that it was someone dumping the car in their own neighborhood park? Could have been a car used in a crime, they dumped it there with another car waiting.

Given the downvotes, it's amazing that some of you don't actually know what's going on but insist on being hardline opinionated on it anyhow.
