Racial Population in America
When looking at this map of racial population within America, it shows that it is divided by each race rather than spread across America. Each race seems to be quite concentrated to specific areas. For example, black (non-hispanic) is concentrated to the south east part of America spreading from florida up to New York and Washington, DC. This high level of concentration could suggest that despite America speaking out against racial issues and claiming that there aren't such racial issues like there used to be 50-60 years ago, the demographic map says otherwise as there seems to be a clear divide between the black (non-hispanic) population and the rest of America. However, another interesting factor of this map is the population of Native Americans, it is one of the highest populations surprisingly. It is also quite a wide spread across America, however it would be more likely that you would see the spread across the west coast, but it seems to spreading across the north and in the middle of America in those 'forgotten states'. This could suggest the Native Americans may have moved north and north east because of the move west by the large population of multiethnic, they moved north in search for 'empty spaces'.
