#2The maps led me to wondering what a similar diagram of cities in the UK would look like, and I found a map of England and Wales with dots coloured by race.

#4For those who don't live here I'd say a majority of the places, at least here on the east coast, don't follow this trend. This definitely isn't the case where I grew up, in New Jersey, and is absolutely incorrect for New York City.
I'd hope that this article would have done a better job in explaining that this isn't the rule but that these are a few exceptions to such.

It's not something that's nearly as sharply defined in NYC, but there's definitely some racial separation by neighborhood if you look at statistical maps on the subject.

NYC is ranked as the second most segregated city in the country.
Just because we all ride the subway together doesn't mean we live together:

You kiddin'? NYC is a massively segregated city, essentially whole neighborhoods are defined by race.
