No racists in Arizona or just nobody who uses English on Twitter?

It looks pretty awfully done. If you look at the actual map, there's just a dot for every county.

I mean, I doubt there are more hate tweets coming from Mitchell County, KS than any county in Arizona or California.

Just a liberal talking point with no basis. I lived in AZ for a few years and nobody there has a problem with the Mexican people who are there legally. There is no "hate", it's purely economics and legal issues.

so it's a map of county size?  that doesn't seem entirely plausible.

No, each dot represents a county where offensive tweets were generated. The size represents the volume. Maybe it's by percentage. Either way, it's sloppily done.

my mother-in-law definitely told me not to go to a certain wal-mart because it "smelled like Mexicans". (my wife was horrified). There are definitely some big time racists there. (They're everywhere, really).

California seems like a real life Garden of Eden. Great fruits and vegetables and free of hate.

the crazy thing is that twitter is only used by tech adept(smart) and/or young people. i guess 16 yr old bubbs said some awful things, that could account for a lot of this.
