It may be 12% overall, but it's obvious to anyone that downtown Seattle looks nothing like downtown Atlanta. My high school (small town in Georgia) was ~30% black. Which of course was fine with me. I had lots of black classmates from first grade on. When I got to college in Chicago, though, I was surprised that for most of my fellow students' high schools, black people numbered in the single digits.
