Hispanic v. Latino/Latina A 1995 census study
showed: 58% of Americans of
Latin descent prefer the term Hispanic
12% prefer the term Latino/Latina
64% come from Mexico
10% from Puerto Rico 4% from Cuba
Clustered from the following states: California: 30% Texas: 20% Florida: 15% New York: 15%

Distribution within cities
Where are ethnicities distributed?
![Page 13: Regional distribution of ethnicities](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816362550346895dd433a0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
African Americans African Americans are highly clustered within
cities. ¼ of all Americans live in cities, while over ½
of African Americans are city dwellers. At the state level it becomes even more
concentrated. Michigan is 7% African American while Detroit is
85% A.A.

Hispanic Population DistributionIn states with the largest distribution (CA and TX) many urban areas are more than ½ Hispanic.
![Page 16: Regional distribution of ethnicities](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816362550346895dd433a0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Clustering About 90% of Hispanic and African American
ethnicities live in metro areas compared with 75% of the rest of the population.
Discussion Question: What effect does this have on desegregation? How has this concentration affected education
and the school systems, specifically the Brown v. Board of Education decision?
![Page 17: Regional distribution of ethnicities](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816362550346895dd433a0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Historical Impact of Ethnic Clusters in Metro Areas This clustering has been happening in cities since
the early part of the 20th century. Cities like Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, etc attracted
immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe to factory jobs.
This led to the expansion of ethnic neighborhoods: Greektown, Little Italy, Poletown.
Most of these immigrants moved out of the cities after a generation or so. Their ethnic identity is rooted more in religion, food, etc and not location.
These neighborhoods were then filled with ethnicities that are most commonly found in urban areas today.

Distribution Distribution of ehtnicities is explained in the
same way as other cultural factors: migrations.
These factors shape the distribution of African Americans in the U.S.: Forced migration from Africa to U.S. South to North after the Civil War Movement from ghettos to urban neighborhoods
after the civil rights movement to the present.
![Page 20: Regional distribution of ethnicities](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816362550346895dd433a0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Forced Migration: Slave Trade Between 1710 and 1810 an estimated 10
million slaves were shipped to the western hemisphere. This included but was not limited to the U.S.
Most British slaves went to the Caribbean and Portuguese went to Brazil.
Many Africans living on the west coast would use their tools and weapons to capture people living further inland and sell them to the Europeans.
At the height of the slave trade Europeans used the triangular slave trade.

Forced Migration: Slave Trade

Slave Ships Approximately ¼ of salves
died on the trip due to the terrible conditions.
Most were packed in so tightly that the number of dead wasn’t known until they reached their destination.
They were kept in chains and barely fed.
Stronger and younger villagers were often seized first due to their high value.
![Page 23: Regional distribution of ethnicities](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816362550346895dd433a0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Movement North After the Civil War and the end of slavery
many African Americans moved North. East: Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and
Boston. Central: Detroit, Cleveland West: St. Louis, Chicago Southwest: California, Los Angles

North American Ghetto Movement African Americans
who moved to cities ended up in the same neighborhoods as blacks who were already there.
These neighborhoods became known as ghettos after the term for Jewish neighborhoods in the Middle Ages.
![Page 26: Regional distribution of ethnicities](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816362550346895dd433a0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ethnicity & Race Ethnicities display different cultural traditions
that originate at particular hearths. Asian is a race recognized by the census, Asian
American is an ethnicity. African American and black are different groups.
Not all blacks are of African descent. African American infers a cultural background while
black simply refers to skin color. Hispanic is not considered a race according to the
U.S. census.
![Page 27: Regional distribution of ethnicities](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816362550346895dd433a0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Race Traits that characterize race are genetic.
Lactose Intolerance Affects: 95% of Asian Americans 65% of African Americans 65% of Native Americans 50% of Hispanics 15% of European Americans
Most Europeans have a genetic mutation that continues to produce lactase, enabling them to digest lactose for their whole lives.

Usefulness of “Race” as a term At best: biological features very so widely as
to be almost unscientific At worst: it is a basis for racism and the belief
that one race has superior biological characteristics.

Separate But Equal in the U.S. Plessy v. Ferguson Brown v. Board of
Education Jim Crow laws

South Africa: ApartheidWhile the U.S. was ending segregation laws South Africa was creating laws.
The legal system in S.A. was called apartheid or physical separation of geographic areas.
![Page 31: Regional distribution of ethnicities](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816362550346895dd433a0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Classfications Under aparthied a newborn was 1 of 4 races.
Black White Colored (mixed white and black) Asian
Under these classifications it was determined where you could live, work, go to school, etc.
This system was created by the settlers from Holland who settled in Cape Town in 1652. These people became known as Afrikaans, the name of their language.
![Page 32: Regional distribution of ethnicities](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816362550346895dd433a0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Apartheid
![Page 33: Regional distribution of ethnicities](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816362550346895dd433a0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Afrikaans Resistance While colonies lost power in African in the 20th
century the Afrikaans vowed not to turn the government of South Africa over to the blacks.
Apartheid laws were to created to force blacks out of powerful positions and allow whites to thrive economically and politically.
This government created “homelands” for blacks where they were expected to move and live, removing the black population from the rest of society.

Changes Despite the multiple revolutionaries in South
Africa, including Nelson Mandela, apartheid wasn’t repealed until 1991.
Mandela, who was jailed for 27 years for being a member of the African National Congress and advocating black takeover of the government, was elected President of South Africa in 1994.
While apartheid is over, the effects of the segregation have been longer lasting: Economic disparity Avg. income is about 10 times lower than white
S.A.
