Of course there are a lot of other factors to choose where to live, like price level or nearness to friends and family, distance to work and so on. But if less than 5% put race of the neighbourhood in consideration I would expect the city maps to look much more mixed.

a lot of it has to do with housing discrimination. but this is an issue that can get its own thread.

Substitute your own reality, right here.

What's the deal with the Finnish one?
It looks like the rider of that bear is trying to hit the bear with his club.
Which makes sense, i suppose, but i doubt the bear=Russia in their logo?
(then again they tend to have many logos with people with clubs in Lapland).

That shield awfully looks like the Orleanais (or, to be fair, France's) Fleur-de-lis (or, for those of you who played EU3, the French flag for like, all the game).

Though I may be wrong the bear was (is?) a sacred animal in pre-Christian Finnish beliefs (and same for many Finno-Ugric groups the Finns are related to), so that might be why there's the bear. Apparently there were things such as sacred bear hunts and all that. Now why that's on a fascist Finnish flag, I don't know.

Why does Germany have the Free State of Prussia's flag for fascist logo? Was the Nazi flag too easy?

I don't recognize the Czech one - what organisation does it represent?
Any info on the Romanian one?
Looks vaguely like some sort of allusion to Dacia and Zalmoxis? (three spears etc).
The GD one is a maeander, which was a popular geometrical shape and relief in temples, amphorae, even clothes. Although obviously it looks quite nazi due to the color pattern anyway...
That said, afaik the 'swastica' was an ancient symbol in India and also Greece (and probably anything in between). Geometrically it appears to be four maeanders, but not repeating much, while the original maeander repeats two times. The pattern probably alludes to infinite repetitions of ever collapsing segments of a line, and is a sort of square-version of the spiral.

Thanks for the info
Since i read there that it was very linked to religion (and particularly Romanian orthodoxy) i suppose it may have some links to Zalmoxis, the Getae deity which was later presented in Romania as a sort of proto-saint.Besides, Zalmoxian religion was a bit on the bloodlust side of things..

Yes but Iceland and Denmark manage to have the Swastika.
Point is, the Free State of Prussia flag is a bad representation of German fascist logos.
^Latvia too.
