Absolutely unsurprised it's black in Florida and Texas. Almost like they were taken there on working visas for cheap labor, or something.
Shouldn't it be as a percentage of the state population?

Yeah, but 100K in a 1 mio people state is a lot. Where as 100K in as 30 mio people state is not that many, and thus I think both should be shown
