I have chosen this map as it shows different kinds of ethnicity throughout the whole country of America – showing the range of different ethnicities, all living in the same country. This map specifically shows the above average rate of those ethnicites in each state and city.

From looking at the map, you can see the different groupings of populations with a proportion of an ethnicity above average. For example, there is a larger cluster of Native Americans in the north and centre of America compared to the amount of Hispanic in Texas, which could be due to the migration from Mexico.

This map highlights the range of different cultures living in one place, which all have a belief of freedom. Although this belief can be challenged, especially recently, due to the blatant racism which can be shown through many shootings of innocent people of colour. This shows that there isn't the freedom for some that many desire or believe in.
