    Yeah I would love to believe this is anything other than a map of high ratios of white/Asian to other races, which itself is a proxy for high socioeconomic status ratios.

      Plenty of white people in the south, yet entire states like Mississippi and Alabama have nothing.

      And Asians constitute like 5% of the population, and skewed heavily to a handful of big cities. No way all of the north Midwest is that Asian

        It’s obviously different in different areas. The Asian was more referring to the west coast. In the south it would be primarily wealthier cities, and the only of those that exist in the south (like Atlanta) are shown here.
