what do you mean 'social integration'?

here in Chicago i don't experience much social integration. meaning the various races ain't partying together here for the most part. we don't eat together. we don't shop together. we don't see movies together.
we don't even ride the same public transportation. when i first moved here i was tripped the fuck out seeing the racial divide on the L platforms in the Loop. i was @ Jackson on the Red Line waiting for a southbound train for my trip to Hyde Park and noticed that almost all of the ppl waiting for that train were black and Asian (Chinese). and almost all of the ppl waiting to go north were white. it was shocking. b/c upstairs at the street level i saw us all sharing the same sidewalks and going into the same buildings. then on the train i noticed that all of the Asian folks got off at Cermak/Chinatown. after that the train was full of nothing but us blacks. i'm used to it now - to the point where when i see a race outlier on the train i can predict at which stop they'll exit.
