Police Protection in a Non-White America

As the Other displaces us in the police and the military and the bureaucracy, “protection by” will become a distant memory — our thoughts will turn to “protection from.”

AT NEW YORK’S Police Academy some years ago, our racially indeterminate instructor was reviewing the twin subjects of racial discrimination and sexual harassment.

INSPIRED BY Bill Rankin’s map of Chicago’s racial and ethnic divides, Eric Fisher has drawn similar maps of other cities with data obtained from the 2000 Census. More cities are charted here. Each dot represents 25 people with white people represented by a red dot, black people by a blue dot, Asians by green, and Hispanics by orange.
