| 摘要： | I DON'T SUPPOSE VERY MANY PEOPLE CONSIDER INFRASTRUCTURE, OR EVEN THE IDEA OF INFRASTRUCTURE, IN THE COURSE OF DISCUSSIONS OR DEBATES OR PLATFORMS ON THE ISSUE OF RACE AND RACISM, OR INEQUITY. But they should.Recently U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg tweeted the following: "When the Vine Street Expressway was first built, it tore through Philly's Chinatown neighborhood. Our work to protect AAPIs (Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders) must include infrastructure that keeps communities safe-and whole." This tweet was accompanied by a link to a sing-a-long vigil being held in the Chinatown neighborhood for the victims of the mass shootings in Atlanta, Georgia that deliberately targeted Asian-Americans. In the background of this peaceful assembly, the Vine Street Expressway roared with traffic. While Buttigieg was speaking directly to a specific minority that has, in the immediate present, experienced a horrific act of violence, what he was really doing was speaking against transportation infrastructure anywhere-in any part of our country-isolating, segregating, separating, or otherwise disadvantaging any group of people. |
