Supreme Court rejects school diversity plans

Here we have a pie chart of the diversity of the United States. Obviously, our country is still dominantly caucasian, however this gives us a good look at the different nationalties that have made a huge increase in the United States population over recent years.
Picture of Martin Luther King Jr. on the day of his "I have a dream" speech. This demonstrates the steps we have taken to minimize racism in our country, however keeping in mind that racism will most likely never be completely eliminated in our country and the entire world.

Diversity Map

This map is a diversity map to back up the information supplied in the racism map. We can see that a states such as California and Alaska with a very high ranking on the diversity scale is also one of the states on the racism map that does not have an extremely high degree of racism. Therefore, this two maps work well together in showing the link between racism and diversity.  

Map of Racism in America


This is a map of racism in the United States and where we can find it to be most prevelant. The map gives us a good idea of my theory that areas of higher diversity are more compatible with those of other races and areas of a very low rate of diversity tend develop more racist opinions of other ethnic groups.
