Browsing around, I found a interesting map from census 2010 data.
Red is White, Blue is Black, Green is Asian, Orange is Hispanic, Yellow is Other, and each dot is 25 residents.

So much for that "international district" Albuquerque manly is either White or Hispanic.
Since red grabs the eye so well, it'd take about 3-4 dots of the cooler or lighter colors to seem as bright as 1 red dot.
Yellow (other) in particular is extremely hard to see. In order to make this picture more useful, the least common instances should have the brightest colors, rather than the reverse.

I think at least half of those are also womanly...
Maybe it's my old weary eyes, but that map is hard to see even on zoom. Why did they use red and orange for white & Hispanic? Those colors are too close on this map to tell. They just kind of blend...

Out of all the colors in the world.... they had to choose colors that are a few shades apart lol.''

It is not so much that the map makers chose those colors, but that Albuquerque chose to be White and Hispanic :-) (and have a low population density so the colors are not very saturated).
If you look at other city maps from the series, you will see what I mean.

How ironic.
Since "white" and "Hispanic" "kind of blend" in real life. There are lots of
"white" ( blond, blue-eyed ) women named Antonio, Martinez, etc. who
have kids of all shades that are Hispanic on the census forms.
Example: Channel 7 news anchor Melissa Montoya came to Albuquerque as Melissa Mahan.
Lots of kids of "mixed" marriages are not identifiable.
People from Oriental lands who reproduce with either Anglos or Hispanics
have children that tend to look Hispanic or American Indian.
I like to relate the story of some Japanese golf enthusiasts who got
very dark being out in the sun. When they stopped in at a reservation
smoke shop, they were asked what tribe they belonged to.
It will be good when, through intermarriage, there are no distinguishable
races in the world. I'll be dead then, but it will be good.

It's not too bad if you click on the largest size...
