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 whites represented by pink, blacks by blue, Hispanic by orange and Asians by green. 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. Detroit: Red represents White, Blue is Black, Green is Asian, Orange is Hispanic, Gray is Other, and each dot represents 25 people Washington, DC: The east-west divide of the nation's capital can clearly be seen Los Angeles: The city's Hispanic population lives predominantly in the city's poorer areas Detroit, for example, is infamous for its divide between black and white. But the map shows such a clear separation along the Eight Mile beltway that it is startling - almost bordering on segregation. The strict east-west divide in Washington DC is also well known - but chilling to see so starkly outlined on the map of the nation's capital. And in Los Angeles, the Latino population dominates the poorer areas of the city. 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. New York: The dots are so dense they almost cannot help but be separated - yet the Big Apple still has clear pockets of ethnicity San Antonio: The Texan city blurs the lines better than most - though a divide can still be seen 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. Another Texan city, Houston, also shows a richer diversity of races spreading out from the centre and Las Vegas boasts a good mix. San Francisco also presents a better picture of racial integration together with a larger Asian contingent. The maps have quickly become a source of fascination for bloggers, even though the data used is a decade out of date. Houston: The Texan city becomes diverse spreading out from the centre San Francisco: The Californian city also shows pockets of diversity ‘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.'

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.
Interesting a Brit rag would be thus interested.
The image of San Antonio doesn't really give a true picture. The Hispanics are mostly inside what is known as "the Loop" (Loop 410)and the south side. There is the black enclave on the east side near Ft Sam Houston, which doubled in size (and crime rate) after Katrina. The map also doesn't show the sizeable black-dominated area in the southeast near Lackland AFB. The whites are mostly north of Loop 410, covering the Northwest, North Central, and Northeast sides. There are several enclaves of "rich" whites, to include parts of Alamo Heights(inside the loop) and the Dominion. This group has been scrambling for years to get outside of the city and into the Hill Country, but bring their big government ideology with them.

Cool.

I don't trust that Hadji. Sure, he looks cute now. Ever read The Trigan Empire? Me and a couple of buddies followed that religiously. In a couple of years I'm introducing my boy to it. That 70s American hardcover printing is like a holy relic to me. Which I think makes a whole lot more sense than holding some constitution sacred.

Never heard of it, but after looking it up it interests me.
