all of the northeast is historically racist but i think n.y.c. is the most racist city more so than even boston and chicago.

And then in suburbs like Brooklyn Park/Center, there is a high amount of Liberians and other West Africans.
Didn’t know East Africans make you that much percentage of Minneapolis black population. That’s cool

I'm not sure that's accurate. I'm pretty sure Minneapolis black population is at least 60% African American. The north side is majority African American. The Somalis are concentrated in a few areas in South Minneapolis. Also African Americans have a plurality in migration. Something like 48% of the black migration from 2010 to 2020 was African American. The rest were Somalis, Ethiopians, and other African countries.

How do folks feel about this order? By Metro

NYC
Boston
Miami
Minneapolis
DC

Honorable mentions are Atlanta and Seattle? You could probably bump Seattle for DC if we went by City proper.

Doesn’t South Minneapolis in the Phillips neighborhood have a long time African American population as well?

There are like no Africans in Miami, they're only as high as they are because of very high Caribbean Diversity. And I might be overestimating that outside of Haiti Jamaica and the Bahamas...

No way am I putting NYC below Boston. Brooklyn alone has enough Caribbean diversity to top Boston IMO. Bostons edges are in some East African places (Somalia, Ethiopia, Uganda) and Cape Verde but its Caribbean population is less diverse and its African share is smaller. Linguistically Boston feels as diverse if not more- but ethnically?

A lot of those smaller islands you get here and there in Boston like Antigua, Barbuda, Dominica, Trinidad, Saint Lucia, USVI, Montserrat, Grenada, St. Kitts are much more abundant and established in Brooklyn...plus NYC has Belizeans, Panamanians and Costa Ricans which Boston has very small numbers of.

Boston and NYC also both beat Miami for Dominicans.

Nope. NYC has a large population of Africans. Miami does not.

I don’t think it’s that visible at all. Not more than the cities i mentioned. Exactly where are they because they certainly aren’t on the west side or Southside and south suburbs.

And Brazilian. Dallas have plano Richardson but only less 10% not a big factor compare to other cities majority of Blacks are American from East Texas Louisana or out of state
As stated earlier, Houston doesn’t have a large Belizean population but they do have a growing Black Honduran population. Doesn’t have a large black Brazilian population either.

I do agree that Houston edges out DFW, but I also think it tends to be exaggerated a bit. DFW isn't that much different in it's diversity.
