The oil spill isn't only an ecological disaster, but it's racist, too.
The NAACP has sent a letter to BP expressing concerns that minorities helping to clean up after the massive oil spill tend to be assigned tougher, lower paying jobs than whites.

NAACP president, Ben Jealous, says in the letter dated Friday that he wants to meet with BP's chief executive officer. E-mail messages left with several BP spokespeople were not immediately returned.
Reminds me of the old joke about the "suggested" headline in The New York Times?
World to end Friday; women, minorities hardest hit.
