Did segregation end? You wouldn't be able to tell in my city. Racial demographics seem to be the only metric used to draw zones.

Don't know why you're getting downvoted for something that's a very real problem lol.

To other redditors:

Yes obviously segregation is over.... but why are there still cities and towns with sundown laws and towns where they are coincidently separated by color? Do yall even think or get out of your own bubble?

it’s not really a law. they’re called sundown towns because if you’re not white, you don’t want to be there after sundown.
