How the most segregated cities in the US and Brazil compare

Using the Dissimilarity Index to measure racial segregation, this his is how the most segregated cities in the US and Brazil compare. A remarkable difference, which I would love to understand more before making any comments.

This chart comes from a great piece on racial segregation in Brazil [only in Portuguese], via Maurício Santoro
