Racism... yeah would be hard to debate... coz it's pretty much set out as "wrong" and it'll be hard to find a convincing "right" side to it...
I like that Oil / Mining debate! (maybe coz my work has a slight connection with things like that)
I think ppl usually associate mining with "bad" stuff, like Pollution, digging holes, waste management etc..
but there can be "good" stuff that isnt too obvious, apart from the obtain resources for yada yada yada..... Mining plants also provides job to a remote / run down community, they have a support department where they fund community developments.... hence enriching (if that's a word) a poor area....
(just my little obvservation from work
