"Integration" Mapped

9/23/2010

Hey all - referred to me from a friend. Just thought it was visually striking and quite interesting given the different histories of each city and how that's played out into the racial make up of their neighborhoods:
Infographics of the Day: How Segregated is Your City?

Highlights for Children:
In Mr. Eminem's semi-autobiographical movie he references dragging his "white ass" across 8-mile. Based on this map of racial distribution, where do you think 8-mile is?

This was very very interesting. Thanks for posting!

about this blog

A place where I can write my thoughts on race, on privilege, on class, on being a doctor. Part of the endless struggle to become a little bit more enlightened and feel a little less alienated.

Agree with me. Call me out. Pass it on.

I post once or twice a month with smaller comments on mini-blog.

about me

My name is Jess. In the interest of full disclosure: I'm a 30-something-year-old Chinese American and believer that the quest for social justice and equity must be an intentional and active one. I'm a Family Medicine physician. I'm queer. I'm a radical. I grew up in a mostly white suburb and my parents are white-collar workers. And I don't eat meat, but I miss it sometimes.
