Your link only includes "white/black" which is EXTREMELY limited. That might work in a place like OK but definitely not in NYC.

Here it is the same: whites, Asians and Hispanics tend to live together and form communities. If you add blacks, people complain. I'm not saying that's right, but it is just something I have noticed -and guess what? It isn't the white people doing the complaining.

From what I understand, Chicago is a real dump all together. It was supposed to rival New York in the center of the US but has turned into a post-apocalyptic dump.

Outside the major urban areas (Newark, Camden and Atlantic City), New Jersey is a nice place to live.

While historically Black neighborhoods are diversifying - partially through gentrification and hipsterization - the poor are diversely being driven wholesale to the geographic and economic fringes.

I'd be interested in what kind of "Hispanic" here. As most people know, Hispanic ain't a race tho most of them here in the US are at least part Indian like Aztec. The white looking ones are def "white" and can look Italian and so on.
