America policies engineered our segregated homes. But the workplace? That had the chance of being a place where we interact with people of other races - and form meaningful relationships. These maps show that this hasn't exactly happened. In fact, the most personal parts of our lives is still very segregated.

Who cares?! Why do we need to integrate every neighborhood in the country? As long as opportunities are equally present for all people in all parts of the country, we don't need to live side by side.
6:15 is misleading; it fails to control for the relative population proportions. To take a more extreme example, suppose some group makes up 1% of the population and its members have 50% same-group friends. That group would be extremely self-socializing - "rejecting" (99%)*0.5 of different-group people as friends while only 1%*0.5 of same-group people. If its members made friends with people regardless of their group status, you'd expect that its members have 1% same-group friends, not 50%.
That of course doesn't mean the choice is that of a group member; if they're segregated and only have the opportunity to make friends with same-group members, then it'd be unsurprising. But knowing the % same-group friendships without controlling for base rates is very misleading.
(Example groups with less than 10% population prevalence: gay, Jewish, blind, transgender, or lawyers. If >20% of your friends are in one of those groups, your friendships are weighted in favor of group membership, because they're really not that common. If none are in those groups, then your friendships are weighted against, because they're not *that* rare.)

I care!!! I feel insulted. I'm a proud African American resident of Charlotte. I can state for the record that Charlotte is very diverse city and this issue does not exist in one of the highest ranking cities with black middle class and the second biggest banking center in the nation besides New York. To add insult to injury New York have a lot of middle class African Americans and is one the most expensive cities to live in the country. There is a problem in Charlotte with minorities being pushed out of their homes in Charlotte. The point is you misrepresented the information and the facts. I call for Vox to take down this video at once and change the city from charlotte to Charleston at once. The president of the United States writes a letter to a thrid grade teacher and she sends it back corrected and with a enough gramical mistakes you would think it was written by a 1st grader. Now news organization can not give accurate facts or misinterperts them like the president. #HighlyMisleadingNews

I tell you hwhattt.
Y'all americans pretty obsessed about race, huh
Yeah... Its a bit annoying especially when everyone has equal rights in America at this point.
It’s because race is still problem in america
Urgh of Tar just cause everyone has equal rights, doesn’t mean everyone has the opportunity to practice those rights. And before u reply just realize many minorities are deprived of their rights
Watching from the outside it always felt like a stupid problem to me. But I guess it's hard to thrown away a part of your culture.
Yeah lmao the first step should be to stop labeling people by race

I'm not racist, I hate everyone equally
i only have white frens lol
Is this what they call an edgy teen?
It's more of an social thing then a racial thing if you ask me. I lived in the ghetto, first chance I got to move out I moved to a upscale predominantly white area but I felt completely out of place, I couldn't relate well with any of my neighbors even the few black ones. Any time they had community events we were never invited and anytime we did anything and invited our neighbors only one or two families would show up. so I bought a house in a more diverse middle class suburb where on one side I got white neighbors, other side black neighbors, and a Muslim family and Hispanic family acrossed the street and even got a gay couple a few houses down from us, but I actually feel more at home in this community, every Sunday when the kids are playing and everyone is out all races and different groups are all together. You didn't have that in the ghetto or in the upscale neighborhoods I once lived in but in the middle class area it was just natural for all of us to be together...
Andre Johnson So basically you didn’t feel comfortable in the more segregated neighborhood?
@@jaylanpaige7541 Not in the predominantly white area. How would someone feel comfortable in a area where if I take a walk my neighbors looking at me like I'm a suspect. I felt comfortable in the hood because that's where I was raised but I didn't want to be in that type of environment
@zyzz Naw. But if you want to think that's the case that's your opinion. I moved where my financial situation allowed me the benefits of living comfortable. Example: It wouldn't be that comfortable living in the hood while I'm make 80 grand a year, I had to wear work clothes in a area where most people was unemployed didn't make me feel comfortable either. Parking a $40,000 car in front of a $40,000 home wouldn't make me feel comfortable. Do you get the picture???

Something I will never understand is why anyone would feel superior based on the colour of their skin?
superiority is nothing to do with why people clash with one another.
it's simply survival. and of course that which is survival of the fittest, you can call superior if you like. ;)

Aye my people
This video does not ask 'why', which is an important question
underrated comment and point
It's due to historical housing discrimination that forced African-Americans into inner cities while White Americans flocked to the suburbs during the suburbanization era. Areas where African-Americans lived would actually become valued less in the housing market because people didn't want to live in those areas, which disincentized giving loans to African-Americans for homes in predominantly White neighborhoods.
@Stephen Jenkins Sure that's true, but there's no inherent reason African-Americans would want to live in an urban area with low property values and economic opportunity. For example, half of my family lives in an African-American suburb community, which is different than being restricted to the ghetto.
Stephen Jenkins ur modern context are honestly historic, neighborhoods went bad When everyone didnt have equal rights and after that ended, racism was still there and black people didnt get equal opportunity’s and that left the mark forever. For example Chicago its pretty much bankrupt and the more diverse communitys were never able to get those opportunities and they probably wont i doubt that the situation that was created decades ago can be fixed today. From personal experience everything you said is completely wrong people in bad neighborhoods will take every chance to get out but its hard And for almost everyone its impossible
Because “oppression” duh! I’m ruling out all other explanations from the get go and if you posit one, I will shame you!
We've been forced to work with them, we'll not be forced to live near them.

You're in every single video I watch. Like a Justin Y. that uploads good content.
YuhNinja no just a bunch of pedofiles and rapists
I’d love to see the stats for other places, like UK and Australia
I think in terms of the UK, you'd have to include Muslims in the demographic.... Even though it's not a race, it's a religion, it plays a HUGE factor in cities like London.
I was thinking this very thing.
It's the same
For the UK there are similar sorts of figures available on Wikipedia actually, I think sourced from the Office of National Statistics (Government figures), if you go onto different cities under the demographics section, there is usually are usually maps showing areas within the cities and their percentage make up of various ethnicity's. From what I've seen, its not too dissimilar to the US - people tend to segregate themselves by race.
What’s interesting is that the British have a higher proportional white population than ever before, during the days of the empire whites were a minority, since the empire is gone tho whites are a vast majority at ~87% of the population
As a person in Chicago I found it very interesting to see personally my area and area around me I know of that are more diverse - yet how diverse they actually are
Bring it back!
The real question is, how do you monetize time spent in the comments section?
Jonathan Facebook can tell you they’ll probably sell it to vox for their next video
I'd be rich for all the time is spent reading these
Yes this is the question I need answered LoL
I get it, but this is overlooking 1 major fact. Especially when it talks about friends. There are more white people.
Also, there is a lot of self-segregation. Maybe some black people feel more comfortable in a neighborhood of more black people. Black universities. Companies started by a person of ethnicity whose major goal is to give more chances to people of ethnicity.
I think the most important thing that could be done is ensuring all people have access to a good education with lots of positive reinforcement
Rab yeah, I live and grew up in a all black area and you just get use to living in those areas and don’t really want to move out,
Blacks have a victim mentality.
True. Asian/chinese communities been living in my country for generations and they're pretty segregated from the rest of the population, even speaking their own languages and all. Yet there are no problems. So long as people got an equal rights, over educations, healthcare, welfare, and everything else, I don't really see a lot of problem????
I'm a Muslim, and subconciously (this is not something I intended) I surround myself with a lot of Muslim people, I befriend mostly Muslims. Its nothing about segregation and systematic racism, its just human nature.
Americans are pretty obsessed about race and will look through anything so detailed to look for problems, even if there's none.
@@MultiCatwolf exactly what im thinking!
This would make sense but the government didn't provide loans to black people. So black people never had a chance

It would be intresting to see public transportation routes over-layed on top of these day night cycles.
Where I'm from, public transit played huge roles in employee eligiblity.
Companies won't hire those without reliable means to get to work, so if a train, or bus didn't make a stop within 5 miles, you didnt apply to that position.
I'd like to think that could be one of the reasons for the huge distribution spreads that are being showcased.
All of these metropolitan cities share that in common.
Thanks for covering the subject!
It's a very interesting hypothesis.

Ok, probably going to get reamed here but I feel like this needs to be said. I study this kind of stuff a LOT. There are a few key things that are pretty much consider to be facts that are overlooked to make a point. Firstly, psychologically speaking, the vast majority of people are attracted to similar individuals. Obviously there are exceptions, but they tend to prove the rule: most people will live and associate with people that are similar to them. This isn't inherently tied to race, and can be applied to gender, creed, nationality, sexuality, etc. It can be seen in really every aspect of your life; and this just boils down to the fact that we like people like us and tend to be averted to dissimilar individuals or groups. The second fact, which was told to us in every political statistics class I took: race is one of the most powerful factor in deciding a candidate; it's pretty much right behind party affiliation. It kind of goes without saying that if people prefer similar people, the easiest thing to initially find in common is skin color. This is the information that every political statistics class will likely adhere to. It's pretty easy to call this racism and leave it at that, but that's not really being truthful. Everyone is programmed this way: it does NOT mean you are intolerant, and it does not mean you have prejudice.
With that in mind, is it really fair to call our CURRENT situation outright racism? Maybe, but probably not as bad as they'd have you believe.
Minority-owned businesses are enjoying a rather meteoric rise in prominence, and this is amazing news. Additionally, these minority-owned companies tend to hire more minorities, which fits quite nicely with the theory stated above: like associate with like, especially race. Economic centers aren't likely to change location and people go where the money is, so I'd say the fact that more minority-owned firms in economic centers is a huge upshot from the data they had. Ok, cool, the economic centers are pretty much equal. But the companies are either primarily minority white, except for the janitorial staff which is still primarily minority. Except that this is factually incorrect. Roughly 65% of janitors are White and 17% are Black, which is not that far off from the population spread of the US as a whole. As for the neighborhoods, that's also pretty intuitive: it's pretty likely that you were raised in a neighborhood of similar people: if you liked it then you'd likely stay in that area. It's not that either the minorities and whites don't want to integrate: it's just that people like what they are familiar with. Why would you move to the opposite side of a town for the sake of integration? The fact that the minority areas are poorer is still unfortunate and needs to be addressed is another issue entirely. If you're black, raised in a black neighborhood, are immersed in black culture, and enjoy it then why the hell would you move across town to live with the whitebread?
This video is actually doing little to solve any problems that actually exist and is making non-issues seem like problems. Segregation is still quite real, but more economically than anything. There's actually a huge difference between explicitly advertising yourself as a white community, and a community that remains mostly white because of the cost of living there. The latter is the more effective issue to direct your attention to. Because legally the former is not allowed to exist; and you can actually do something about it if you find yourself facing it. The fact that a lot of white people don't have black friends is also not really a problem. Yes, if we're aiming for total integration then it should be 100% but that's not realistic. But I would bet that the figures for African Americans with no white friends is almost equally as bad. It takes work on both parts, which means that both African Americans and Whites need to make strides in this respect. It's not fair to look whites with no black friends as racist and not the other way around.
EDIT: If you actually want to ask a legitimate question or want me to elaborate on something I'll try to reply when I can, but please do it respectfully. Thanks!
I think a more interesting perspective to parse out would be income disparities among races. Blacks, in the main, are dramatically poorer than whites. It was determined in Brown v. Board of Education that separate is inherently unequal. It probably would have been better to make a finer point on segregationist housing policies that excluded people of color that still linger today, at least certain repercussions. Perhaps the main driver of housing segregation is cost of living. I'm sure minorities would love to have higher paying jobs, and don't simply refuse them because they don't like making money, or would rather work for minorities. For most I would imagine they low wage job they have is because that is all they can get. I'm not suggesting giving minorities jobs they are not qualified for, rather understanding why is it that they are unqualified for better/higher paying jobs.
lol you don't really explain why certain differences (skin color) are prioritized over others (eye color, for instance). isn't it possible that our upbringing leads us to focusing more on x than y? why is that?
Your point on voting only makes sense if you think that humans are robot like. We might be "programmed" that way but everyone can think for themselves and so if similar looking guy A is an idiot in your opinion then you will most definitely choose different looking guy B.

Anecdote: My department at work is about 50/50 black and white employees and we all get along well. We don't normally meet outside of the office but we scheduled a Christmas party at a restaurant. There were about 25 of us and the restaurant arranged two rows of tables. As people gradually showed up, all the black employees ended up sitting in one row and all the white in the other. Someone finally noticed this and a couple of people switched rows so it wouldn't appear segregated. I don't think we ended up self-segregating by chance and I don't think it was entirely conscious.
Ford Warrick Jr Is there a problem with natural segregation?
i understand your point, the same with women and men at party, you'll see the women gather, it dont make them sexisits. we'll always have more in common with those like ourselves, but always open to learn of others.
Socialized affinity well known in class and the differences in how whites and blacks are raised are enough to account for such patterns....so says all the Science on the matter, this isn't rocket Science and it does not affirm the hypothesis that such segregation is "natural" either. It's not .... socialization is the magic ingredient here and that is steeped in bias.

You make a very excellent point

Except for Bob Ross
pretty sure the problem isn't racism specifically. more likely its classicism. Id like to see it broken down by income level instead of race.
And where do you think those income level differences come from?
There is definitely a class dimension that is simply overlooked in this and many other analyses. The struggle should be to bring back the idea of class
People will try to jump through any and Every hoop to try to avoid discussing race🙄. The driving message of the vid is "Who do you have meaningful discussions with?" Because if you have complex conversations with people who are different from you, it can really open your worldview and bring everyone closer to one accord, as opposed to having one particular race seemingly turn a blind eye to the thought of socializing with any other.
That alone would help everyone grow to equal levels within society since the majority of people who get hired into hire positions in their job have at least One connection (in the US anyway). It also creates more trust and respect in others who are different from you (whether you're friends with them or not). To act as if socializing more with different groups *can't* help people get along better today and literally bring about more equality without doing much at all on any government level is literally avoiding the simplest solution of them all.

Cultural diversity isn’t the same as cultural competency! Just because a community/organization/school is integrated does mean that the relationship and interactions are meaningful. One has to be willing to learn about the other individual and take purposeful steps to engage; this is true in with all relationships not just racial diverse ones.

Different people coming together in different communities is SCARY. Look at all these races separated by country lines! SCARY STUFF. I'm frightened that Africa and the Middle East are segregated by a border, on RACIAL lines. FRIGHTENED.
I was a real estate agent for a couple of years in Omaha, Nebraska and I had several black clients. With only one exemption, my black clients wanted to live in North Omaha, a predominately black part of the city. So, if this video has the goal of eliminating forced segregation, I am all for it. But let people live where they wish.
Steve Burton people of color choose to live where we feel safe. Yes there are cultural reasons, but generally we do so because we don’t want to constantly have white people calling the police on us because of their over-active imaginations.
Michael VR you’re literally enforcing a stereotype.
Yeah steve! Let them. Give them your permission.
red x17 you just self-owned lol 😂
So black people are not in danger living around other blacks? Are you serious???
I’d love to see the stats for other places, like Australia, Canada, and New Zealand
way worse. It's 97% anglo white at top positions in australia at the top 200 companies.
The statistics of races of friends is flawed, because it does not take into account total population. In a population where white is majority, even if you don't show prejudice in making friend, you will end up having more white friends. The statistics should adjust for that.
It's not reporting how many other-race friends you have, but how many people have even one other-race friend. Influenced by demographics, yes, but still an indication of lack of integration.
@@bonsaiviking But in places where you are the majority it is possible to not have to interact with other while miorities dont get such luxury. Non white would also interact with those outside there groop less if they could.
This. I'm sure vox's conclusions are correct but the stats need to be adjusted so it's weighted correctly.
On average if you randomly choose your friends (assuming a nationwide pool to choose from) then because of demographics you should have 62% white friends 18% Hispanic friends 12% black friends 5% Asian friends and 3% friends of two or more race or other race. Deviations from this (on average) are likely the result of prejudice/preference in one form or another.
totally agree
You mention at 4:27 that "we're exposed to about as much diversity now as we were a generation ago." Even by your graph, this is not the case. Using this graph in 1980, workplace segregation was ~0.12 and is ~0.09 now. This is a 25% decrease in workplace segregation, hardly 'about' the same.
Yeah you’re right, but what he mentioned before that was the growth in minority population and there isn’t a correlation between that growth and a decrease in segregation. Or at least it should of been 25% without growth to actually make a difference.
Shariq Torres I was responding to the original post. Not you.
Whether or not 25% is a significant change depends on the metric. For example, babies born to women over 40 are twice as likely to have certain birth defects. However, the odds change from 1/10,000 to 1/5,000. From an absolute sense, not a significant change. Would you say .02 -> .01 segregation is a significant change? Sometimes people see things proportionally, other times in absolutes.
It's just typical vox bullshit, trying to hide the truth and logic
@Shariq Torres
0.12 - 0.09 = 0.03
0.03/0.12 = 0.25 or 25%
Race is real and it matters.
I'll tell you what though, the visual distinction between pink and light pink was super impactful, thanks! 😒

The "Who are your friends?" graphic does not give population statistics for the study to show whether there is segregation by comparison. In the population that the study examines, what percent of the population is there to other races? If they are all roughly equal, then I would agree with the point being made in the video. However, if they are not equal, then I feel that Vox is reaching (IE. If there is a higher population of one group, then the likelihood of someone having one friend from the higher population group is greater than having one from a lower population group). If the population of Hispanics is lower than black and black lower than white, and this is in proportion to the percentage of friends had between groups, then it goes against the point made in this video.
I'm not saying that there isn't segregation or that Vox is not correct in their statement on this one graphic; I'd just there to be context that verified the point that they are trying to make.
Context doesn't seem to be a priority for them

It doesn't even take into consideration that by the time we are 40, we have changed friends many times over and that some of them could have been of a different skin colour. It's an unflexible question for flexible beings.
If I dont have black friends am I a Racist?
Thanks Vox, your clips are informative.
I occasionally have to travel to the U.S. for work and it's always a shock for me to see the segregation and racism that is rampant everywhere. The religious zealots are also a little unnerving (yes I am visiting the south.)
Voloko Umphetico it’s not even segregated now. Also, the religious people are quite crazy
2:16 thought my phone hanged for a while lmao
I thought it was buffering
Even I thought the same😂😂
Yeah had to check my data
Pretty good explanation, but it fails on two points:
1) There are large swaths of America that aren't integrated because nobody wants to move there, so they remain white or black. The "75% of whites / 65% of blacks don't have opposite-race friends" is disingenuous because if you live in Northern NH or Jefferson County MS you literally don't have the opportunity to meet people of other races. This is particularly true for rural white Americans, as black Americans only account for 12.3% of the population.
2) Also, you should have clearly explained redlining and the denial of housing to black WWII vets (I know you did it before, but you should have repeated it).
well said
Agreed. Correlation is not the same as causation.
Even in diverse areas people prefer to socialize among there own race, nothing wrong with it. It’s a completely natural phenomenon.
@@HyperboreanAnchovy44 Sure, although a lack of social contact is indicative of a problem. If you live in a diverse area and don't have friends of other races (ethnicities would be a better way to frame it), then there's segregation (intended or not).
that concept is mind blowing to me, growing up in south florida i was always surrounded by other races and white was actually the minority at my highschool. it’s really mind blowing to me that people live in area of america where they only interact with white people.
This was very eye opening.

True
@@dalvinestrellavz not true
6:19 And Asians? Everyone forgets about Asians.
To be honest, I think asian people is a more isolated and secluded group than all other races...
The left never does, why would they? They're commies, you break the native only whites do well in America, so you must be ignored.
Most asians during that time, even now, are in the USA because they're wealthy already so they usually keep to their own OR surround themselves with other wealthy people who are mostly white.
Because we're not worth being put into racial demographic category. The simplest reason is there's simply not a lot of us. We're the minority of the minorities. There's simply not enough data to put us on the demographic map. Based on my life experience, there's a several, more subtle reasons.
1) many first generation asian immigrants who congregate in asian communities are illegal immigrants. Therefore they're not included in the census. Illegal immigrants also generally do not speak english. So collecting data is difficult. we're a peaceful and productive lot so we mostly get ignored by immigration authorities.
2) Due to stringent immigration policies from asian countries, first generation immigrants who ARE legal come from well educated backgrounds in their native countries. They usually speak english well. Both my parents were able to immigrate legally because both of them spoke english and had college degrees before they came to the states. So they start off in a much better position than their illegal peers.
3) Most importantly is the fact that we integrate into white society as soon as possible for one reason. Education for our children. Thats why we see a disproportionate amount of asians in Ivy League universities. My parents would love nothing more than to be in the company of their peers. Most of their friends are asian. But they settle in predominately white communities because it provides better education opportunities. Second generation asian-americans get a huge advantage in life thanks to their education and become relatively affluent even compared to whites. Since we grew up in predominately white neighbhor hoods, we easily integrate into white society and culture by the time we reach adulthood. We sorta just disperse into upper-middle class white communities (whom are much more willing to accept us as peers because they tend to be very liberal).
tldr: everyone forgets about us because on all demographic attributes except race, we're basically white. No one is gonna stop us on the street for being asian. We don't have a problem with getting housing, employment, etc. We get treated on a level of equality that blacks and hispanics can only dream of. Hell, we even get shafted by Affirmative-Action. The only time i get reminded of the fact that i'm not white is when i'm walking through the city with my white girlfriend and people look at us for a bit too long. It's like they're trying to figure out if we're actually a couple. Hell even I do it because you usually dont see an asian man with a white girlfriend/wife.
Asian is too spicy 😍
I’m pretty sure it’s natural human nature for people of the same race/culture/religion etc. to be together. It’s a subconscious action. Because the people around you share similarities, it’s more comfortable for you to be around them, thus making you stick next to them more than other people who are different. Even I, as an Asian American, consistently see the Asian group at school sticking together and the white group sticking together. It’s just similar qualities that draw people together. Not _just_ race.
no, it's just not race. but this video touched on the fact that race was an influencer in how neighbourhoods were designed and marketed, which means lots of kids grew up without ever meeting someone from another race, which is a big handicap towards ending segregation.
It's problematic when the U.S. Government subsidizes segregation
I do wonder what role African Americans wanting to be around people like them and who share their culture plays in modern housing segregation. Overt discrimination and discrimination by lenders along with community policing practices such as those cases of wealthy black men being interrogated or even shot when they lived in high end, majority white housing all definitely play a big part, but my mom also has seen cases like her African-American coworker with a middle class job who still lived in a 'bad area' (with a gang problem she was afraid of her kids becoming involved in) who still stayed because she wanted to stay connected to the community. Especially in the city, walking vs. having to take public transit/a *cab* can have a big impact on what you do. If you want to belong to a black Baptist church, you will likely find a place close to one.
@@evogreenrow8692 That doesn't mean people should face discrimination when they apply for a loan or have to be afraid of their white neighbors calling the cops on the 'burglar'.
@@merchantfan That just comes down to statistics.
Not much I can say about that.
I’m beggining to understand why USA don’t have a culture or identity. They are segregated and they haven’t had a chance to mix up an become one
Ulydf the USA is pretty much the cultural hub of the modern world, so I don't know what you're on about. I live in South Africa, our fast food franchises, movies, music come from America. The newer generation is starting to speak a more Americanised English. You just think they don't have culture because you're swimming in it.
Sybrand Botes I’m from Mexico, even when we are close to the USA and there are many influences from our neighbours, we have our very own culture and traditions, we haven’t loose the mexican identity, We are well known around the world, we are very diverse, we have multiethnicity, indigens, blacks, asians and europeans. Four centuries ago they went through miscegenation and now we are the result of that mix. There’s no such things as ghettos or policies as the apartheid.
@@Ulydf I'm Native Hawaiian and US may seem like a country with no culture because it is so big and its Citizens are so spread apart. USA has 100's of Sub-culture and Diversity/Multiracial and Multiethnic that Mexico can only dream of. For example, Chamorros of Guam are US Citizens and so are Puerto Ricans but, the are 9,387 miles apart. Most Mexicans don't even know what Micronesia is or where to locate it on a map. Same with Native Alaskans to Amish in Mainland USA. USA is the definition of Diversity while Mexico lacks diversity and most citizens live close to each other. I live in Hawaii and my wife is from Vermont 5,000 miles away and speaks french. My son is half white half Native Hawaiian and speaks English, French, Native Hawaiian Language. I doubt Mexico has citizens the live that far apart and still be considered the same country. In Hawaii my culture is more rich and pure compared to Mexico because we have very little influence from outside world same as Alaska.
From Native Hawaiian.
Maybe if you thought about it more you would realize that most of the modern stuff that got into the world has mostly origin in the US, where it became common and when the rest of the world adapted it guess what, they adapted a piece of the american culture. Just because they don't have 700 hundreds of years old buildings or weird paintings doesn't mean they don't have a culture.
@@oliveraparicio8464 Oliver Aparicio I know there Is a diversity in the US as a result of the immigrants, but they brought their own culture with them, maybe from England, Italy, China, Ireland, France, etc., because USA don't have their own culture. Probably you've never been in México and for sure you don't know about our history and our roots. We have our own Native ethnicity besides the foreign people who came and started the mixing. You are wrong because every mexican, from North to South, from coast to coast, feel as a mexican. I know some territories as Hawai are part of the union, but you are not american because you are not part of this continent, you have a different culture, I'm not talking about nationality, you have the citizenship but It does not make you american. You never had any civilization as we did, mexicas, toltecas, zapotecas, mayas, purépechas, totonacas, aztecas, ethnicities as yaquis, raramuris, nahuas, otomíes, huicholes, mixtecas, mazahuas and the list goes on and on. US don't have a culture on it's own because english killed Native people. Modern US citizens may have roots from the countries where the parents or the grandparents came from, but it's not a millenary culture as we have in México, China, or Japan, you know, we are talking of Centuries full of history and culture that makes us unique. And I'm so sorry, but neither hawaians or people from the US understand something that they just don't have.

It's like that in Denver. There neighborhood area that have historically been Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. Our city is just in the past few years has started slowly developing housing to change that. But it's a struggle cause now you have wealth surrounded by poverty. If we truly want to diversify our communities we need to work on improving life for everyone.
This is one of the area that I have doubts about diversity. Let's just say that there are two identical neighbourhood with identical houses, identical wealth, identical facilities, but the only difference is one is mostly inhabited by a certain race and the other is inhabited by other race. Do you prefer to live in a neighbourhood that culturally closer to you or live in an area where you can't relate with others?
Living places are not just a place to crash into after work, it's somewhere you spend your life, somewhere you watch your kids grow, somewhere you have a weekend barbecue with the neighbours. It's understandable that people want to live near where they could identify with, and it applies to all races. That's why we have places like Chinatown, Little Seoul, etc.
Living close with our community is not segregation, Levittown's "whites only or GTFO" policy IS segregation
But the problem is that the poor areas are disproportionately minority. In ALL cities

Yeah but when there segregation isn’t equal it’s a problem , whether that be people of color being in poorer neighborhoods or white people holding all the managing positions
Nobody attacked you lol. They asked "who have you had meaningful convos with" (and many hold those convos with friends). It's simply there to make you think about how often you share conversations on an equal level with people from different backgrounds🙄. It's like everytime people make a simple question about diversity (which you'd have to speak about race to discuss) everyone and their mother feels like there's always some "agenda" being shoved down their throats. It just said "have more meaningful discussions with more varities of people"...is that seriously all that bad?
sandmancesar I’m Armenian and I agree. What we have today in the US is that the more marginal your identity is, the more you are allowed to assert it. For native Americans, it’s perfect when they express their cultural dances and so on. For Latinos and Chinese Americans, it’s still okay. For Italian Americans, it’s already a bit risky. And finally for wasps, it’s fascism or whatever. So it’s a real dilemma and I don’t know what the solution to racism is, but political correctness surely is not the simple solution it pretends to be. And the pressure to “understand” each other is also a false one. What we really need is a new code of discretion, aka a way to politely ignore each other. Be kind and from time to time, miracles do happen, like you establish a real contact with the other, but I claim it’s rare and should not be forced through guilt

Who is more obsessed with race? The people making a video about segregation, or the people who wrote laws to enforce it?

what role models black children look up to? scientists at NASA or Jay Z?

OK. But I have one question about the section "who are your friends?". If I was a Hispanic man in Dallas, I will have more opportunity to meet new friends from other races. Instead, if I was a white man in Dallas, born in Dallas, it will be easier to have so many friends from the same "Like me" because probably we are more than other races.
Please let me know what you think about this. Anyway... I'm Italian, but I love to know what happened around the world, so... thanks VOX :)
Doesn't Dallas have a significant amount of Hispanic people?
I mean, I grew up in a very white small town (about 97% white and only 6,000 people overall) so I didn't meet many people of other races. So I didn't really have any friends of other races until I moved to more diverse areas.
@Massimo: Yes, your intuition is correct, the video is somewhat misleading on the "75% of whites / 65% of blacks don't have opposite-race friends" point. In addition to your point that whites have far more opportunities to meet "people like me" just because of their sheer numbers, there are large swaths of America that aren't integrated because *nobody* wants to move there, so they remain white or black. If you live in Northern New Hampshire (98% white) or Jefferson County Mississippi (85% black) you literally don't have the opportunity to meet people of other races because nobody is moving to places where the best jobs are "tractor-jockey," "general-store-porch-sitter," or "deer-hunter." This is particularly true for rural white Americans, as black Americans only account for 12.6% of the total population and comprise a far smaller percent of rural populations outside of the South.
A more accurate statistic would have been "percentage of other-race friends in diverse communities." Another one that would be more representative of current race relationships would have been "percent of people 35 and younger who have friends of other races" because for older people like my parents there were far fewer opportunities to meet people of other races when they were in their friendship-forming years.
I was born in San Juan Puerto Rico and raced in a town of 50%Dominicans ,50%Puerto Ricans ,and mi parents are Dominican. But in when I lived there haved more Puerto Rican friends. Probably 70%.that makes me races
Most Hispanics live in densely populated Hispanic area, have a huge Hispanic family, and go to an all Hispanic school so it's just as hard to make friends of other races.
Irene it’s always been that way sadly, you see it a lot more in small towns. I’m literally only 20 mins away from a town about the same population as mine but we are completely segregated. My town is literally 90 percent Hispanic/Latino. While the town only 20 minutes north is 90 percent white. If you drive just past both towns you go into the city where it’s very diverse overall, but the black population still live in mostly the same neighborhoods/parts of town.

For anyone wondering about units used at 4:23 it's a plot of the Theil index over time (the Theil index is a measure of redundancy or lack of diversity, same as the redundancy measure in information theory) that being said idk if a value of .12 is a lot or a little I just wanted to provide more info.
