Take a look at this article. While this kind of analysis isn't as clear cut as it seems, what does it show?
From the piece: "Louisiana is home to the people who tweet derogatory slurs with the highest frequency in the country, according to a new analysis
from online apartment-finder Abodo. Searching from a list of pejorative
terms for women and black, Latino, LGBTQ, overweight, and
intellectually disabled people, Abodo found and mapped millions of
tweets published from June 2014 to December 2015. About one in every 87
tweets from Louisiana contained a slur traditionally used against these
demographic groups, with Nevada, Texas, Maryland, and Delaware rounding
out the top five. Wyoming came in last, with about one-tenth as many
such tweets as Louisiana."
Stick with the article long enough to see West Virginia's starring role...
Not surprised. When I was a sophomore at Musselman, we almost had an all-out race war between the white students and the black students. And it was not the black students who fostered the hostility, because I remember my cheeks getting red with anger when the white students would make monkey noises at the black students as they walked past the redneck table to dump their trays.
