There are some fascinating practices which have all but ensured racial segregation in some major US cities.

In Minneapolis there was some good reporting on how racial covenants split communities and our city's culture.[0]

There was a link to racial covenants in the article that shows how prominent they still are even in more left leaning districts like the bay area.[1]

I had no idea that this was a thing until a few months ago. It boggles the mind that there's no legislation for removing this nation wide.
