I moved from Arizona to Chicago a few years ago. While Arizona was far from perfect, I still find the segregation here shocking. While standing on a platform waiting for an El train, it is possible to determine which people will get on which train line based on the color of their skin.
Edit:
Another anecdote, but interesting to me. My wife and mother teach at two different "urban" schools on the south side. There are no white students at either school. My mom's school is 99% black and my wife's school is 95% Hispanic. I know it's a common situation but it still just blows my mind.
