[quote]These are the maps that show the racial breakdown of America’s biggest cities.
Using information from the latest U.S. census results, the maps show the extent to which America has blended together the races in the nation’s 40 largest cities.
With one dot equalling 25 people, digital cartographer Eric Fischer then colour-coded them based on race, with [B]Whites represented by pink, Blacks by blue, Hispanic by orange and Asians by green.[/B]
The resulting maps may not represent what many might expect Barack Obama’s integrated rainbow nation to look like, as many cities have clear racial dividing lines.
[B]Detroit, for example, is infamous for its divide between black and white. [/B]But the map shows such a clear separation along the Eight Mile beltway that it is startling - almost bordering on segregation.
[B]The strict east-west divide in Washington DC is also well known[/B] - but chilling to see so starkly outlined on the map of the nation's capital.
[B]And in Los Angeles, the Latino population dominates the poorer areas of the city.[/B] But, reassuringly, the maps do show that not all American cities are so divided.
In New York, the boundaries are so intensely coloured that they can hardly avoid being integrated. While the different racial groups still have their own areas, it is one of the most diverse of the major urban cities.
[B]San Antonio in Texas paints a much better picture of integration, with whites and Hispanics blurring the boundaries and no real sign of a rich white enclave.[/B]
[B]Another Texan city, Houston, also shows a richer diversity of races spreading out from the centre and Las Vegas boasts a good mix.[/B]
[B]San Francisco also presents a better picture of racial integration together with a larger Asian contingent.[/B]
The maps have quickly become a source of fascination for bloggers, even though the data used is a decade out of date.
"I’d love to see the income data presented this way, too," said one.
Good magazine's Andrew Price said: 'What do we, as a society, want to see in maps like this? I think it's safe to say that the clear separation of races in Detroit is a symptom (or cause) of serious social problems.
"At the same time," he added, "it seems unrealistic to expect perfect integration and it's unclear if we should want that anyway. It's great that our cities have vibrant ethnic neighbourhoods."
The maps are based on information from the 2000 census, but Mr Fischer, 37, said in a blog on his Flickr site: "I intend to do a 2010 version as soon as the census finishes tabulating the data. I think the full release is planned for next June."
He told the Washington Post: "I always knew that cities had these racial divisions, but seeing them set out so graphically, that was the striking thing about them."

Why on earth should I trust a british newspaper on this?
Texas really isn't as bad as a lot of people think.
I don't know where they got the idea that it was the racist capitol of the US. That's more the south-eastern area of the country.
:smug:
Oh look, a racist newspaper trying to prove that integration doesn't work without putting it into any context.
How.
Surprising.

Alright, so Texas blends the races together more.
I want to see hate crime conviction stats for the same cities now.

I've got a source for you, read the paper one day. Anyone who isn't a racist/anti-EU/Xenophobic can easily spot the problem areas.
It begins at the cover and ends with the sport pages.

Great rebuttal, it thoroughly explains everything and cites the facts and references for everyone to clearly see. A+ work.

"Hey, look at this graph. It says black people have small brains. But I'm not going to argue about it or give evidence, I'll just leave this thread and move to another"

Also I kinda already know that texas wasn't that bad a place.

How was the graph racist? Did you tell you truths you didn't like? Therefore racism?
[QUOTE=OleWally;25075525]How was the graph racist? Did you tell you truths you didn't like? Therefore racism?[/QUOTE]
So a graph showing that blacks have smaller brains than other races is perfectly fine? You'know, except it like, goes against all biology and science in general? And was written by a very well known racist?
Also, you never answered my rebuttal. Maybe you should go do that.

What science and biology does it go against? Is saying a Great Dane is bigger than a Shih Tzu racist to small dogs? Or is it genetics? The guy was a well known racist? Or was he just called that by ignorant people like you?

"Hey, I'm going to ignore all the other thousands of science and genetic textbooks and listen to the opinion of just this one guy! He must be the only one SPEAKING THE TRUTH!!!"
Also, did you just compare people to dogs?
it's not that bad of an analogy, though there are more breeds than flavors of ice cream

If we scientifically categorized people (who are animals) the way we do to animals, then 'races' would technically be different species. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, or meant to cast other 'races/species' in a bad light. I don't think that other races are inferior for the slight differences they have, but we need to stop lying to ourselves.

Which other genetic textbooks? As far as I know, a scientific textbook contains scientifically demonstrable facts.

Find me a genetic textbook saying that all races are exactly the same aside from skin colour.
