Race and ethnicity maps of cities

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

They may get them back, but whether the information is accurate is another matter.

I know I lie like a bastard on those things every decade.

Hell yes, I am now listed as a full blooded Cherokee and Terri is listed as full blooded Blackfeet.

I'm Black and I'm proud.

Ten years ago, I was Hispanic.

Next, I'm thinking Inuit.

EXACTLY!!!  I lie every time.

[Doktor Howl]

perhaps the talk about division is because it's real, as the maps seem to indicate.

but we choose to divide ourselves. 

The fact that most people never live more than 10 miles from where they were born could be playing a large factor in keeping the racial divisions in neighborhoods.  Where you were born becomes your home and a place that you identify as such.

I'd be interested to know where this data correlates to income and property values.

Fact: Everyone in Tucson is from somewhere else, and no one outside of Tucson is from here.

I'm about half a country away from my home.

Same here. It was a bullshit statement.

the fact that it's LESS true today than it was 100 years ago doesn't make it a bullshit statement.

So pony up a link.

Unless you can back it up, I call bullshit.

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

not that I'm doubting you, assuming you live there and are familiar with the city but.

Interesting but I call bullshit on the St. Louis one.  The colors are backwards.  

White is NOT the majority in St. Louis

. Miami however was on target.

REALLY DUDE?

I live in St. Louis now, and lived in Florida for the 20+ years prior to moving here.

Citation my ass!

what would be the gain in altering the statistics for one city?

I am one of two white families in a 5 block radius, My children were 2 of 6 white kids in the whole fucking school.  All I was saying is it was wrong for St. Louis.   I know that for a fact.  With that knowledge, we can deduce that the other cities (not all) are off as well.

maybe you just live in a mostly black neighbourhood/ school district

No, the entire city of St. Louis has a majority of black people.  There are small 2-3 block neighborhoods of whites and one hispanic section but otherwise, whites are the minority everywhere in this city.  I wasn't just refering to one public school, it has been every school my children have attended in this city.

In fact, please allow me to rein in my horse and buggy that is either in a land rush or in a gold/silver/copper rush. Can you say immigrants?

[AFK]

Yeah, if you haven't learned this by now, DP, you can't really throw out a statement like that around here and not be asked to back it up.  I find it pretty hard to believe that "most people" never live more than 10 miles from where they were born.  Certainly there are pockets of that, which will most of the time be related to socio-economic status.  But that is a decidedly different statement than saying most of all people don't live more than 10 miles from where they were born.  

Hell, the trend over the past 10 years is that there has been a net migration from the North East to the South and South West.  Lots of people have moved over the past decade so it seems unlikely to me that your assertion is accurate.

Major bullshit.
I'm 5000 miles from home.

I was trying to find statistics for this online, because anecdotal evidence is just anecdotal. Most of the people I know are a long way from their birthplaces, but I don't know how it is in most of the country, and I do know that most of rural Oregon consists of home-towners.

Hell, try to find a native Coloradian in Colorado.

That's because they are barred by law from moving, so they don't spread their diabetes.

Let's give him a chance to link to a credible source, Charley.

Well, many Oregonians are of Welsh descent...

See, if Britain had made a law like that, this wouldn't be a problem.

pages 15-17 have some graphs..  the preceding pages explain the limits on the data gathered during certain time periods.

it's a good read if you're the type that likes digesting this stuff, otherwise it's going to seem dry.

[EDIT] page 14 has a table with numbers, forgot to add that.

I've been an Alaska Native since 2000.

ECH,
never been to Alaska
