I thought the black population in Houston was growing. Looks like it's decreasing to me.
Well, the Black population DID increase in Houston. However, the Asian and Hispanic (especially) population increase much quicker, which is why their percentage dropped .1% of the metro population.

What's more international Seattle or Houston, Philly, and Dallas?
Trimac20 seems to think Seattle
You're kidding, right?
I actually think Houston is more international than SF, given that Houston has huge connections with Africa, Latin America, and Asia, while SF is limited to Asia and a small subsection of Latin America.
Looking at the trends, Houston will be more 'racially diverse' than SF sometime in this decade.
Having a bunch of one race Ethnicities does not mean much. After one generation they are all the regular same old same old. Just a regular bunch of white folks.
so your telling me Jews in Borough Park are similar Italians in Dyker Heights who are similar to Russians in Brighton Beach, who are similar to Wasps on the Upper East Side.

I'm from and live in LA. I was referring exactly to what you have written (bolded). LA's black population is the only population that is really significantly shrinking here. While I know plenty of blacks who love LA... it obviously isn't overall a great place for many african americans.
It's a shocker that LA's white population as a whole hasn't declined between 2000 and 2010, after decades of decline between 1970 and 2000. They're almost 50% of the population now, a 3% increase from 2000.
There are about 5 million blacks in the the top 10 cities now. In 2000, there were 6 million.
