African-Americans are the largest race in Chicago (http://www.suntimes.com/census/cities/chicago.html ). \nEthnicity is a bit harder to figure out. According to the US Census, Hispanics are the largest ethnicity (but most people confuse it with race).\nChicago also does have a very large Polish population (at one time, there were more Poles in Chicago than in Warsaw), but then that's nationality, not ethnicity. Even then, Poles are not the largest nationality; there are still more Germans and Irish people in Chicago than Poles.

I was born and raised in Chicago, IL and have lived in Atlanta for over 10 years now. Believe it or not, I find that there is more racism in chicago than in the south. I define racism as someone who is openly hostile and hateful toward a person or group of persons of another race. That actually doesnt' happen as much here in the south anymore. Whites and blacks are very accustomed to one another here and know how to live with one another. The true southerners I've met here are actually very warm and open to black people. (By the way, I'm african american.) What I do find is a great deal of ignorance in the south which to me is very different from racism. Here in the south, people have found their "roles" and rarely venture from them. \nIn the north however there is a great deal of racism. Here in Atlanta, interracial dating is almost a norm versus in a placel ike Chicago where people still get beat on the street for it. greeks dont' date the polish who don't date the irish who don't date the germans... even the euro-caucasians in Chicago segregate themselves and only intermingle in the workplace. \nMy fiance is Colombian and I am black. We are very comfortable in the south though we do get looks. In Chicago, we're very afraid for our lives. \nWhy are people racist? That's a very good question. I will be the first to admit that each ethnic group has it's own traditions and cultures, even though we are all americans, however it takes a very closed and ignorant mind to hate another person merely because they look, sound or act different from you. But then again, people always fear that which is unknown or different to them...

The place I am living in now is full of Ukrainians they have a church, area, pub, club etc.  They got this by being a large concentrated ethnic group in a specific area & unifying.  This applies to all ethnic groups.  \nMN= Nordic/Somalians, \nMiami=Cubans \nAtlanta: Southern Blacks (There is a diff b/t north & south)\nEl Paso= Mexicans\nNYC= Go to any neighborhood & you'll find an ethnicity.  (My favorite b/c every culture will throw down a party/parade/something to recognize them)\nThis didn't happen unless you have a group of people with clout/numbers.  So, unless you are willing to organize your 'peoples' then continue to feel this way.

Not much where I live now, but I just moved this year from the Logan Square neighborhood in Chicago and holy crap we had it rough there.\n\nMy upstairs neighbor got mugged in broad daylight on a major street walking home from the train.  Gang bangers were killing each other all the time.  A friend of mine got beat up just because he happened to walk past some gang banger fighting with his girlfriend.

Chicago received runaway slaves that went up the Mississippi River during the Civil War, resulting in a large black population.

Hispanics constitute the largest minority group in the United States. As of July 1, 2004, Hispanics accounted for 14.1 % of the population, around 41.3 million people. Hispanic growth rate over the July 1, 2003 to July 1, 2004 period was of 3.6 % - higher than any other ethnic group in the United States, and in fact more than three times the rate of the nation's total population (at 1.0 %). The projected Hispanic population of the United States for July 1, 2050, is of 102.6 million people. According to this projection, Hispanics will constitute 24% of the nation’s total population on that date. [2]\n\nOf the nation's total Hispanic population, 49% lives in California or Texas. Not counting Puerto Rico — which is a territorial possession of the United States — New Mexico is the state with the highest proportion of Hispanics, where 43% is of Hispanic-origin. The proportion of Hispanics in the states of California and Texas exceed 35% each.\n\nThe Hispanic population of Los Angeles County, California--numbering over 4.6 million--is the largest of any county in the nation. [3] Meanwhile, for the 2000 to 2004 period, Lee County, Florida had the fastest growth rate in Hispanic population of any other county in the United States. [4]\n\nSome 64% of the nation's Hispanic population are of Mexican or Mexican-American background. Another approximately 10% are of Puerto Rican background, with about 3% each of Cuban, Salvadoran and Dominican origins. The remainder are of some other Central American, South American or other Hispanic or Latino origins. [5]\n\nThe overwhelming majority of Hispanics of Mexican/Mexican-American origin are concentrated in the Southwestern United States, primarily California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. The majority of the Hispanic population in the Southeastern United States, concentrated in Florida, are of Cuban origin. The Hispanic population in the Northeastern United States, concentrated in New York and New Jersey, is composed mostly of Puerto Ricans, however, the Dominican population has risen considerably in the last decade, especially in proportion to that region's Hispanic population. The remainder of other Hispanics, composed of various Central American and South American origins, may be found throughout the country, though South Americans tend to concentrate on the East Coast of the United States (joining Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and Cubans) and Central Americans on the West Coast of the United States (joining Mexicans/Mexican Americans). There are few immigrants from Spain due to it's economical growth, they do not regard themselves with the term Hispan as used in the United States.

The San Diego Area Government website (SANDAG) has a profile of the 2000 Census results, however, there isn't a race-by-race breakdown -- just the general demographics.\n\nSan Diego is a very diverse city, and the census doesn't ask, for example, if you're Somali or Chaldean.   Nevertheless, the city (and county) have large numbers of these ethnic groups.\n\nEven within a national group like the Filipinos, you have Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilocano, Pampangueno, Pangasinan, Bicolano, and others!   Yes -- that's within San DIego (there are over 100 dialects in the Philippines, although English is spoken everywhere).

The indigenous Potawatomi tribe called the marshes on which Chicago was later built "Checagou," which translates to "wild onion" or "garlic" (also referred to as "skunk cabbage"). [1] This name was transferred by European explorers to the Chicago River, and then by settlers to the name of the city. Before Chicago's founding, the name of the river was spelled several ways, such as "Chetagu" or "Shikago".[citation needed]\n\nThe origin of Chicago's nickname as "The Windy City" is debated and has many possible politically-motivated origins (see List of nicknames for Chicago). The most common explanation is that the phrase was created by New York newspapers in the 1880s, during a national debate over which city would host the 1893 World's Fair. However, the Chicago citizenry turned the intended slur into a compliment of the city's new life and vitality following a quick recovery from the previous decade's Great Chicago Fire. Hence the name remains in common usage. However, there has been evidence that the term Windy City had been in use prior to this common explanation. See Windy City, Origin of Name (Chicago) for a more thorough discussion.
