No surprise here, liberal haven California comes in as the most racist State in America.
California is considered to be one of the worst states when it comes to hate and racism. With 65 reported hate groups and 0.5 racist post-election tweets, it ranks first on the list.
Racism, characterized by prejudice or discrimination based on race, involves the belief that one’s race is superior and others are inferior. Measuring racism in a specific region is challenging, as it cannot be quantified.
While polls and surveys can provide insights, their accuracy may vary. Alternative indicators collected by sources, namely SPLC and Floating Sheep, include instances of hate crimes and hate speech, which can also be utilized to identify regions where racism is most pronounced.
Researchers studied the number of racist tweets related to reelections, focusing on tweets from different states. They counted how many of these hate tweets were posted and grouped them by state. This helped them understand how much racism was being expressed on Twitter and in general.
To measure this, they compare the proportion of racist tweets in a state to its total tweets. If a state scores 1.0, it means the number of racist tweets is similar to the number of non-racist tweets. A score higher than 1.0 shows that the state has more racist tweets than other types of tweets. This data helped identify which states had a higher level of racism on Twitter.
Additionally, the researchers considered the number of hate groups in each state. This added more context to understanding the extent of racism in different states.
It’s important to note that this is not a definitive way of categorization, and results may be different in real life.
This list goes from the least racist states to the most racist, in order and we included Washington D.C. in this ranking even though it is not a state but an important area for this conversation.
