Only if they live in them.

They wouldn't be empty then and if someone was living in a factory they couldn't afford up keep.

I will say that being from the state, Michigan is still pretty racist comparatively speaking with other states. It's just that there's a strong union presence and no infatuation with the Religious Right or Tea Party amongst the average citizen such that it is a blue state.

I wouldn't be surprised if other states in the North are like this.

I agree, but I got in a huge, er, discussion with someone on Urban Planning about that. I eventually had to drop it, b/c he wasn't going to. Most of the Hispanics in Colorado, where I live are Mexican-American, which means part Native American and part Caucasian.

Yes, Driller has to want to live near you even though you clearly have nothing in common. What a sad, narcissistic outlook to think that the entire world has to prefer your presence.

CensusScope -- Segregation: Dissimilarity Indices

Quite frankly, because the government forced the South to desegregate. A problem the free market is useless in solving.

The south is not "desegregated".

It is true that all the kids go to the same schools if the town is small enough, and the same goes for shopping, but not neighborhoods

There are still white neighborhoods and black ones.

Liberals are faux colorblind. They've never met a black or Hispanic vote they didn't like, as long as they don't have to share the same neighborhood.

BS! Ask any black in the south and they'll say they feel much more desegregated. It's common for southern blacks to feel much less discriminated against. Its the white liberals in the north east who are racialists, having rarely mingled with blacks and Hispanics. They talk the talk, but rarely walk the walk.

I grew up in Gardena, CA... one of the most racially diverse areas in the country. I live on a street that is the main drag into Compton. Some of my best clients were in Compton and Inglewood. Do a search before making a fool of yourself.

This result is biased, period.

Dissimilarity is comparing between white and black, they should be compare with White and all other races...
