I think the OP needs to post the sources. I feel like this is a little dubious.

The states he claims one is least likely to experience a hate crime, have some of the most intolerant laws in the country, not to mention rather under-educated populations. Not to be harsh.

Yet, the states one will most likely experience a crime are the blue of the blue, with stereotypical tolerant populations.

I don't know, but maybe he needs to do is math again.

Lol, Boston is one of the most racist cities in the country. I don't know where these stats come from but I love when people don't see their state up there they automatically assume something is wrong.

You need to realize that your views on the rest of the country outside of your region are extremely flawed, imo.

And yes, what you stated not only sounded harsh, but superior.

Really undereducated? Well I read your post, and looked at the state you came from. I guess the people from those states at least can brag about manners and can show the OP some respect as well as other CD posters.

You're the same guy that claimed Lee Harvey Oswald was some "crackpot" Texan, when LAnative had to correct you that he wasn't a Texan at all, that he was born in Louisiana and lived in New York...

To be honest Endersdrift, your figures are probably accurate but I am a little skeptical without some proof. For instance, I would think Vermont would have less hate crime than any of the 5 states listed.

I was born and raised in New Jersey, I have Florida in my location because I spend time there just as I spend time in New York and New Jersey. People in New England are pretty racist actually, if your not white you must not have an education. You can go stick it with that Harvard mentality.
