MI: 51/32/17
Oakland Co: 54/32/14
Wayne Co: 60/20/20
Macomb Co: 67/19/14
Washtenaw Co: 30/61/9

Macomb - working class suburbs and target for white-flight. busing obviously
Wayne Co - Working class whites who remained and didn't want to be bused into Detroit.
Oakland  - more upscale and thus more rich white racism then blue collar racism.


Also remember the history. Working class catholic Democrats in the Northeast had a long history of racism going back to before the Civil War.
