Inspired by whiteness theory, we draw on a case of environmental injustice affecting the Roma community of Dăroaia—a segregated neighbourhood in Roșia Montană—in the context of the mining conflict over the eponymous gold mine. We analyse how whiteness as ‘gadjoness’ dehumanises Roma communities through institutionalised mundane practices of spatial and discursive exclusion. Whiteness operates as an insidious power relation, which we set about to expose. Following a historical approach to racial exploitation in Eastern Europe and analysing 31 interviews with local actors, we apply a reflexive methodology to question the constitution of race and whiteness in Romania. Our results show how socio‐environmental injustice is reproduced through racism and whiteness, is inscribed in space and normalised through racist institutional practices, but is also exposed and challenged by Roma agency.\n\nXARNI PREZENTACIA\nAnd‐i Estikani‐Evropa, o mangipen te aves parno thol rigăθe o spacio, i vica thai i klasa thaj vi o rodipen e soćialo thaj diosqo krisaqo.
