Mobilewalla used cellphone data to estimate the demographics of protesters
It gives what percentage of the protestors were black in each city, 18% in Atlanta, 3% in Los Angeles, 11% in Minneapolis, and 14% in New York City.<p>In all of those cities that&#x27;s lower than the percentage of black people in the general population, so black people were underrepresented. But they were much more underrepresented in Los Angeles and Atlanta than in Minneapolis or New York.<p>Here&#x27;s a table. First column is percent among protestors. Second is percent among general population. Third is first column as a percent of second column.<p><pre><code>  18 52 35 Atlanta
   3 11 27 Los Angeles
  11 19 58 Minneapolis
  14 24 58 New York City

I.e., in New York and Minneapolis you had close to 60% as many black people as you would have expected if you just went by city demographics. In Atlanta it was only 35% and only 27% in Los Angeles.<p>I wonder if there is some factor, especially in Los Angeles and Atlanta, that discouraged black people from wanting to attend or some hardship to attending that disproportionately fell on black people?
