These Maps Show How Segregated The US Still Is

America might be less segregated now than ever, but it remains far from total racial integration.

2010 Census maps, posted to Reddit by user DMan9797, illustrate this point well.

Check out the maps, in which darker spots show higher population density for a particular race (click here for larger versions):

The highest concentration of African-Americans is in the Southeast:

“The U.S. Census Bureau today released a set of estimates showing that 50.4 percent of our nation’s population younger than age 1 were minorities as of July 1, 2011...A minority is anyone who is not single-race white and not Hispanic.”

Having seen a few maternity wards in my “white” state of NJ over more than a dozen years, I can tell you that “white” births are less than 10% here; they can stand by their projection as long as Hispanics aren’t considered minorities (though all affirmative action quotas treat them as such).

That’s going to take one serious busing program to fix.

My adopted black children get followed around stores by the proprietors here in leftist New England.

Some places are behind the times, but I don't see that at the local mall or grocery store where I live.

Maybe part of it is that nobody really owns Stop & Shop or CVS. They're big companies who worry about lawsuits and bad publicity, and there's no proprietor on site to hassle customers. It's different with mom and pop stores.

What I was getting at, though, is that broad-brush comparisons between large sections of the country don't always account for what goes on. If you want to say that shopkeepers are more suspicious and hostile to African-Americans in small New England towns than in small Southern towns, you could be right, but most New Englanders live in or near big cities so the comparison may not apply to their experience.
