City of Quartz summary
Reason 1 - Diverse racial composition
- The reason is because of all the mixes of latin american, asian, and european they ensured that the black freedom would develop a multiracial context.
Reason 2 - Dynamic economic growth
- They lost alot of the manufacturing jobs, they gained alot but also lost alot of miney because certain people couldnt work for their color or whatever.
Reason 3 - Dispersive spatial arrangement
- The dense population combined with proportionally small size of the black population the rigid racial segregation of the workplace, and the city's heavy dependence on private rather than public transportation, created an atmosphere which led to blacks and whites not getting along and allowing residential blacks to prewar in LA

- Cause i like my skin color
What does this suggest about implicit (hidden/not obvious/you don't talk about it) racism?
- that i like to be light skinned.
How might this connect to the concept of immigration?
- This connects because light skinned people might not want others in their country cause they just don't like them.
