Abagond,
I was born and raised in New York and you are absolutely right!At sixteen years old, I passed out at an ATM machine in front of a white couple who just stood and watched me go down. It was also the first place I was ever called a nigger, although the incident took place at SUNY Oswego in upstate New York.

did they really just go their with it? What dose it matter what race everybody is? This is just another case of self-segragation. Its not even important to know what race is where. Are americans really this racist?

Actually, knowing exactly where people of different ethnic/racial backgrounds are concentrated and how they’re interacting can give significant insight into just how racism affects people. If you have an élite school that’s 70% White in a borough that’s only 17% White, naturally there’d be questions as to exactly what’s going on that so few Blacks are attending élite schools in that area.
An example of “colour-blindness” gone wrong is France- the French don’t count people based on ethnic background and race, but at the same time French society contains pervasive racism. What happens is that minorities in France oftentimes may experience racism, but there’s no hard numbers to back up their claims and thus the problems don’t get solved. Hence, the riots in 2005.
In most Western societies, questions of race and ethnicity really are more significant than most people (especially Whites) are willing to admit, and even when the problems come to a head, people are loathe to discuss the root of the conflict. I’m sure you British folk remember the riots in Bristol and in Brixton even as recent as 1995-which was roughly around the same time us man in NY was dealing with the Abner Louima case, give or take a couple years. So “are Americans really that racist?” yes. Is the rest of the developed world any more “enlightened”? Hardly. One only has to recall the bombings in London, Madrid and the riots in Paris to understand what happens when you alienate minorities and then don’t talk about it (most of the perpetrators of violence in those cases were native-born European nationals, not necessarily immigrants).

It is interesting that many of the white shaded census tracts (including the one I used to live in) are in Queens. I guess that means they are more ethnically mixed.
