"* Mississippi and Alabama have the highest LQ measures with scores of 7.4 and 8.1, respectively.
* Other southern states (Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee) surrounding these two core states also have very high LQ scores and form a fairly distinctive cluster in the southeast.
* The prevalence of post-election racist tweets is not strictly a southern phenomenon as North Dakota (3.5), Utah (3.5) and Missouri (3) have very high LQs. Other states such as West Virginia, Oregon and Minnesota don't score as high but have a relatively higher number of hate tweets than their overall twitter usage would suggest.
* The Northeast and West coast (with the exception of Oregon) have a relatively lower number of hate tweets.
* States shaded in grey had no geocoded hate tweets within our database. Many of these states (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and South Dakota) have relatively low levels of Twitter use as well. Rhode Island has much higher numbers of geocoded tweets but had no hate tweets that we could identify."
Predictable, although if President Obama were a Teabagger Republican rather than a Reagan Democrat, IMO the incidence of tweets would be much lower. Racism is ugly no matter who it comes from. I've been on the receiving end of racism directed at me by black rednecks, so it's not just one ethnic group guilty of this of course. Interesting that Jezebel tracked this.
