Arrivals...There Goes The Neighborhood

Chicago, Illinois, the city that I live in, is debatably one of the most segregated cities in our whole country.  This city is divided into large sections; the North, South, and West Side, and each one is associated with one specific race.  The North Side consists of primarily white neighborhoods, where the inhabitants are mostly Caucasian.  The West Side is made up neighborhoods where mostly Latino families live.  The South side is associated with African-American people.  I do not think that there was a literal push where the races were separated, but I think that it happened more slowly and gradually.  The split between these races probably happened back when segregation was bigger and more of a problem.  White people would create havens of people that were only the same race as them, not letting people like the Latinos or African-Americans live by them.  That created a cycle, not ever allowing the races to mix together, and still the problem has not been fixed.   The African-Americans and Latinos never wanted to try and integrate themselves, because they were so heavily discriminated against, so they never even tried to mix themselves with the others.
