Nickelodeon’s news show for kids recently lectured the channel’s young viewers about the “meaning of environmental racism.”

Nick News, a program that ran from 1992 to 2015 before being revamped in 2020, listed a number of cities with environmental issues. Host Jamie Yuccas said, “What do these cities have in common? They’re all examples of environmental racism, a form of systemic racism where minority and low-income communities are surrounded by health hazards because they live near sewage, mines, landfills, power stations, major roads.”
