  1. Regional Concentrations of Ethnicities Where does the clustering of ethnicities occur? Where are African-Americans clustered? Hispanics? Asian-Americans? American Indians? Compare these two scales: African Americans in Mississippi and in Oregon.

  2. Concentration of Ethnicities in Cities • How many Americans live in cities and how many African Americans live in cities? • What happens when you increase the scale of the above question to the state level? • How do the ethnic concentrations and traditions differ between the descendents of European immigrants and African-Americans/Hispanics? • What is a sharecropper?

  3. Differentiating Ethnicity and Race • How are race and ethnicity alike and different? Create a chart or Venn Diagram. • Discuss the role of biological features in determining race, and how geographers use them. • Define racism • What is the difference between the terms African-American and Black?

  4. Race in the US • How does the US define race? • What is the “separate but equal doctrine?” • What is “white flight?” • What is “blockbusting?” • Write a summary of the spatial interaction of races in the US.
