It is interesting that you applied the squares/triangles model to racism.
For me, given the 50%/50% rate of squares/triangles, I was thinking more about men/women and the places being workplaces rather than living places. (or teams within a workplace, or girls/boys within sports or school activities)
I see this as an indicator that the "parable of the polygons" is applicable to many aspects of society.

[edit] ... and someone did add a shape: http://dncnmcdougall.github.io/polygons/ http://dncnmcdougall.github.io/polygons/
