Wikipedia: As of the 2010 census,[1] there were 2,695,598 people with 1,045,560 households residing within Chicago. More than half the population of the state of Illinois lives in the Chicago metropolitan area. Chicago is also one of the US's most densely populated major cities. The racial composition of the city was:
45.0% White (31.7% non-Hispanic whites); 32.9% Black or African American; 13.4% from some other race; 5.5% Asian (1.6% Chinese, 1.1% Indian, 1.1% Filipino, 0.4% Korean, 0.3% Pakistani, 0.3% Vietnamese, 0.2% Japanese, 0.1% Thai); 2.7% from two or more races; 0.5% American Indian.
Most of these stats are just plain wrong. New Orleans in particular has seen record low numbers. It's been dropping since 1994. This article says it's 56.13 but the rate has dropped to 42. I'm not saying thats fantastic, just that this article is wrong. If New Orleans is wrong, what about the rest of them? In fact Detroit is down 4 points too. It's not hard to look the numbers up.

83% of it's residents are black.
That doesn't seem correct unless you believe the myth that black people are inherently violent and criminals.
But, if you believe that, you're labeled a racist...
