This map, created by Dustin Cable at University of Virginia's Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, is the most comprehensive representation of racial distribution in America ever made.

Look at detroit. Just wow.

2. Looks bad, but

that is not a map of Detroit. Everything north of 8 mile is not Detroit and the map leaves off half of Detroit, 5 mile and south.

Not that it is not bad, it's just not complete.

Detroit would get the help it needs if everyone south of 8 mile decided to move north.

3. the original source says "distribution". that has been altered by the secondary's biases nt

4. What I found most fascinating about this map

was how people (of all races) tend to group themselves into communities about 10-18 miles apart from each other, like little beads on a spiderweb. You can see this especially in states such as Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and the surrounding states, at a zoom level about 2-3 in from the entire country view.
