Map of most racist areas of USA

Why Trump gets big crowds in places like rural PA

[JI7]

1. This is more about population. A lot of other places are racist also

but they are low population areas and without places to hold large rallies.

[intheflow]

15. Exactly. This is not a true metric because

higher population automatically means more people searching about any given subject.

[dalton99a]

2. Pretty accurate.

[Silent3]

3. Are Google searches for n****r really a good metric of racism?

That seems like a fairly questionable way to measure racism to me.

[Quixote1818]

5. Sounds like it correlated perfectly with a study on racist tweets

mentioned in this article, but the link to that study in the article doesn't seem to work: https://patch.com/pennsylvania/uppersouthampton/and-most-racist-place-america-iscloser-you-think

6. Thank You!

4. Completely inaccurate depiction.

Based off a Google search for the N-word?!!

Northern Idaho would be the deepest red on the map if it had anything to do with reality.

Totally ridiculous.

[Quixote1818]

7. Northern Idaho has a tiny population

Here is an article on the study: https://www.dailyitem.com/news/the-most-racist-places-in-america/article_a331b56e-eea5-11e4-9048-1fb521fce39a.html

10. Population density of racists would be a much more accurate measure

of “most racist places in America.”

You won’t find a higher concentration of racists than you will in northern Idaho, I’m not going to argue this fact.

17. +1

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

8. A lot of white people in North and South Dakota hate

Native Americans.

They may not use the N word much, but they are viciously racist nonetheless.

16. +1

9. A lot of that's depressed rust belt and coal country up there in the NE.

Unhappy jerks who didn't rescue themselves by retraining and whatever else that'd require and many too dishonest, mean and/or stupid to square up to the big, real causes of their problems.

I was hoping 8 years of Democratic policies with control of DC following Obama's 8 crippled years would improve wellbeing enough that people like that would be more interested in where to vacation than resenting others.

11. Here is the SPLC's link to hate groups in the USA

12. I have traveled to 40 states and haven't seen any place more racist, homophobic

and sexist than right here in eastern Ohio, western PA and WV. That is what the map shows too.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

20. That's a bad area, but I think areas farther South...

... are still worse.

That's just been my impression while driving through those areas and seeing "Mammy" statues for sale in TN and such. TN was also the place where my angry father left a walk-in fast-food restaurant without ordering because the black customers in front of him were told they had to eat outside. That was in the 80's, though.

21. The map area shows it stretching though Appalachia into Kentucky, Tennessee and WV nt

[Wanderlust988]

13. Boston is one of the most racist places in all of America

This map is not accurate at all.

[Raine]

14. There are racists even in those "much less than average"

darkest blue zones, and vice versa in the "more than average" darkest red.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

18. If only that were the only metric.

[if..fish..had..wings]

19. There is no average

This alone makes this data worthless.
Not everywhere can be NOT average.
