Japanese auto makers have located their U.S. plants in areas with few blacks, but they are not alone in the practice, according to a new study. “Industrial development specialists in state governments report that they are often asked by American firms in a variety of industries to eliminate from consideration plant sites in counties with 30% or more black population,” said the study to be published in the next issue of the University of California at Berkeley’s California Management Review.
