      Tools used: R, d3.js. Claude code for setting up a repeatable process.

      Data: American Community Survey 2020-2024 estimates. Also some ACS microdata from IPUMS-USA for incorporating reported ancestry groups that aren’t broken out in the summary tables.

      When I see data like this, it makes me wonder why Irish culture is still so heavily present and represented locally, whereas German culture (flags, celebrations, food, drink etc) is less prevalent. Now, you can still get a German meal and it’s part of Chicago’s fabric, however feels as though Germans culture was an undercurrent in creating Americanism, where Irish pridefully represented Ireland in the new world. Any historians have rational behind this?

      And remember kids, half of everyone who claims German or Irish ancestry is actually English, but that doesn’t sound as cool…

      „African American“ is not ancestry. „African“ is, though very vague as an entire continent

      Why are the others not called „European American“? USA is so weirdly obsessed whilst also completely fake, with ancestry

      I know ACS data is wonky, especially ancestry stuff, but I’m skeptical that Mexican is the largest ancestry in Chinatown

      Shows how absurdly segregated American cities are. Redlining and HOAs really did their part.

      Why not a dot density map? Many really diverse, integrated places like Hyde Park showing up as one particular ancestry and it really doesn’t really represent the reality on the ground.

      Toronto and Chicago are frequently compared. These categories are incredibly simple compared with Toronto which is actually diverse.

      I can’t help but think the descriptor of „Mexican“ is similar to how racist assholes use it to describe anyone of Latin American descent. This seems too general.
