> There are plenty of place (some large cities - SF I'm looking at you) where black people are pretty rare. Or at least rare in the areas people frequent.

I think it will be helpful here to specify what type of people you're talking about in the second sentence, otherwise you're implicitly excluding black people from the general term "people". I don't believe this was intentional, it just reads weird.

I meant people in the sense of everybody; humans. Places where the population at large frequents (downtown SF).

I called it out because the SF population is something like 10% black, but most are in black neighborhoods. People that don't live there rarely go to those neighborhoods.

It would be a very interesting project to trace down the facebook social graph to see what % of none-black has black friends/relatives in their direct connections.
