Bamboozled,
Excellent points, now you see why I didn't profess to know all about such population statistics.
What I was hoping to demonstrate (and maybe this was a poor example) is that division between groups exists everywhere, not just in the South. I will agree with you that class and economics play a TREMENDOUS role in how groups relate. I do believe that race and attitudes (i.e. sterotypes and prejudices) plays some part, as people tend to associate and live with folks that have common interests, backgrounds, problems, etc. Linking the statistics to racism itself was probably an error on my part. I think that your comments on demographics were a great insight on your part, thanks for the clarification.
