As a result of the BP oil rig explosion, millions of gallons of oil per day spewed into the Gulf of Mexico over a period of two and a half months, creating widespread economic, environmental and health consequences. Regional community advocates report that minority communities — Asian American, African American and Latino — have been disproportionately impacted. While they have been hit the hardest, communities of color are receiving fewer resources for recovery and their neighborhoods are more likely to be targeted for disposal of toxic oil.
