From the article:

"It's also important to note that not all people searching for the N-word are motivated by racism, and that not all racists search for that word, either. But aggregated over several years and several million searches, the data give a pretty good approximation of where a particular type of racist attitude is the strongest."

"But previous research has shown that the prevalence of racist attitudes can contribute to poor health and economic outcomes among black residents."

"The researchers on the PLOS ONE paper found that racist searches were correlated with higher mortality rates for blacks, even after controlling for a variety of racial and socio-economic variables."




So New Mexico and Arizona; Colorado, Utah and Nevada; and Wyoming, Montana and Idaho are states Black people who want to avoid racism should move to? .................... :comeon:

(The authors attempted to control for variants of the N-word not necessarily intended as pejoratives, excluding the "a" version of the word that analysis revealed was often used "in different contexts compared to searches of the term ending in '-er'.")

lol... you know they want to say it sooo bad

while this study is flawed, it definitely makes a good point.

Notice that racism tends to be highest where White population is the highest? The flyover states with low racism are simply low due to the low number of residents in these places.

The only tangible statment that can be made from this data is that whites become more and more racists when they are amongst one another in large numbers. Truly a scary concept when you think about it.

It shows that folks in those states aren't really thinking about black people because they don't see them on a daily basis. Familiarity breeds contempt, which explains the high number of N-word searches in the Northeast and Southeast.

The West and Southwest would definitely have high "racism" marks for Hispanics
