r victims of katrina black?

hi,

I dont know much abt demographics of USA, but from the pictures on bbc website, it looks like most of the stranded ppl are black. Also the infamous image of looter floating with beer cans , he was also black.
BBC NEWS | World | Americas | New Orleans rocked by huge blasts

So is new orlean (or luisiana) a black majority area or r we witnessing some kind of organized racism here?

later.
