I actually believe I may have seen this map in intro to digital cartography class. I was just recently reacquainted with this interactive map that displays the population of five race groups (asian, black, white, hispanic, and other) with colored dots representing a particular number of a given race. Populations of these races were gathered by census tracts and every census tract within the United States is represented in this interactive map. The closer you zoom in, the smaller number of individuals is represented per dot. You can atually zoom down far enough to the level where small streets are even represented. I just think this map is a really interesting one. Many generalizations can be made from these maps (whether good or bad) just based off of where particular races live within the census tracts.
