Most big cities have become more racially segregated: study
h/t Instapundit[NYP]- An alarming new report has revealed that a majority of the country’s biggest cities are even more segregated today than they were more than 30 years ago. Nearly 81% of the country’s metropolitan centers — 169 out of 209 cities — are more segregated than in 1990, according to a new study, with cities such as Providence, Rhode Island, and Salt Lake City, Utah, seeing notable increases. Cities considered the most segregated include New York — which ranks No. 1 — as well as Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Los Angeles and Philadelphia, among others. While a few Southern cities are considered some of the most segregated metropolitan areas in the US — such as Miami (ranking No. 5) and New Orleans (tied for No. 10 with Beaumont-port Arthur Texas) — others in the region also saw the greatest decrease, including Miami, as well as Savannah, Georgia, and San Antonio, Texas. The new report by the University of California Berkeley’s Othering & Belonging Institute, which "flies in the face of prevailing perceptions that the US has become less segregated since the Civil Rights era," found that a majority of regions with more than 200,000 residents were more segregated in 2019 than they were in 1990. Structural racism in action? 😃 Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2021-06-22 |
