List fails without the entire state of Vermont.

I dislike slideshows - especially where there is a need to scroll for the information, then scroll back to the arrows.

Back in the day, they were called neighborhoods. You know, people of similar ethnic backgrounds that immigrated to the United States and wanted to be around others that spoke the same language.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the older, more established cities in the US tend to be more segregated. Chinatown, Little Italy, etc...

And there are no cities in the South that may, infact, be older and more established than most of the cities on that list.

WTF Indeed:

There were, but we burned them all down during the Civil War.

You missed a few. Charleston and Savannah come to mind.

Not even close.

I must say, I'm relieved and surprised that Boston isn't on that list. My roommate- who is black- is always complaining about that.

We spared those so we could send New Yorkers down there to talk loudly and complain about the lack of a good Jewish Deli.

Aaron's Deli on Meeting Street in Charleston is pretty good. And run by a Jewish guy.

Oh, and Savannah sucks.

YOU LIE.

I call "oversimplification" on the NYC map. I can't speak for anywhere else, but looking at race as the measure of demographics is stupid here, since our "races" are far from being associated with one ethnicity, and such a high percentage of people are first or second generation immigrants. Yeah, there are "Asian" areas, but those areas include people from various parts of China, India, Pakistan, Korea, Bangladesh, Thailand, etc. Yeah, parts are "Hispanic/Latino" but they're represented from pretty much every country from Central and South America. Even the "white" people are diverse, with a lot of people from countries in Eastern Europe and Russia. And for "Black" it's not just African-Americans, but Africans.

There also isn't the same kind of segregation in the "we can't cross that street into their turf" kinda deal. You can walk across a few of those census tracts without even realizing it. If you're a white guy walking into an Indian restaurant in Jackson Heights, nobody even thinks twice about it.

I'm not saying we're all holding hands and singing kumbaya, but it's not *that* segregated. I live in Queens, in a part that's classified as "white," but there are probably at least 10 ethnicities, and at least three races, represented in my apartment building alone, and that's just counting the people I usually see in my wing.

great. philly made the list.

But... The rest of the country is so enlightened as opposed to the south, where we can barely function as a society.

I don't understand...

I take exception to NYC being #2. There are so many different races, ethnicities, and nationalities living and working around each other. Labels like "white" and "Asian" don't really account for all the diversity. On the other hand, I grew up on Long Island, which actually is fairly segregated.

Meanwhile, Yankees stomp feet and protest the findings, as Southerners smugly sip sweet tea.

itazurakko: I don't quite understand the whole thing - they'll have areas that are say "50.1% or less" white, and get colored light blue. But if whites are a minority there, some other group is living there, even if that other group is still "50.1% or less" too. So you'd think it should be blending into another color.

That's pretty much my beef with it. The only thing I can thing of is if one group is a plurality instead of a majority, it gets the light shade of the dominant group. So if my neighborhood is 35% white, 20% Asian, 30% Latino of some sort, 10% black, and 5% other, it gets marked as "50.1% or less white" which really doesn't tell the whole story.

Plus, residential life in NYC doesn't tell the whole story either. Even if you're living around mainly one race, you're on the bus or subway with everyone else, you're working with everyone else, you're shopping with everyone else, and you're passing everyone else on the street. Granted, it depends on where you live, and whether it's more of a public transportation area or more of a driving area, but from my experience here, I only notice diversity when it's not there (which was my experience in Boston).

I'm willing to bet that those areas are controlled by Democrats.

Clearly I am stomping my feet.

Bocanegra: Why is it surprising? Northerners are more racist than people from the South.

It's not surprising, it's suprising....well according to bad speller subby anyway.

Let's go Buffalo!

There's also a strong a racial divide between East and West Knoxville.
