so, if I can prove my family got denied loans during the days of redlining, or can prove we got steered to bad sections of town when we tried to buy a home, where the pollution was high, pipes are full of lead, and there are cancer causing substances floating in the air, if I can do that, isn't that disadvantage? What do people think happened in America? It is (and was called) genocide most of the time in many parts of the country. The government itself gave its blessing for trying to exterminate people based on skin color and still agree with this.
