According to the text, research on environmental racism indicates that:
a. the location of hazardous wastes near minority neighborhoods is too frequent to be occurring by chance.
b. it is probably not done intentionally and many dumps are also located in White neighborhoods.
c. most of the toxic dumps have now been dismantled and cleaned up.
d. the problem is overstated; it does not occur very often.
Answer is a. the location of hazardous wastes near minority neighborhoods is too frequent to be occurring by chance. (The concept of environmental racism is the idea that nonwhites are disproportionately exposed to pollution. While the studies were looking for inequalities, reasons for them and to make recommendations, they also were useful for learning more about racism.)
