The most racist state/region/territory in your country

[Robertclive]

Tennessee or Arkansas for me

[Stavroforos]

Hard to say when many countries around the world are not made up of states.

[Robertclive]

I know but I was hoping you would get what I was trying to say

[The Noble Lord]

Even though Australia is made up of 7 states and one capitol territory, I can't honestly say that any of them is racist or which one is most racist.

Of the regions, colloquially known as provinces, of New Zealand, I would say Southland and the West Coast.

Even though Australia is made up of 7 states and one capitol territory, I can't honestly say that any of them is racist or which one is most racist.

It's Australia, they're all racist.

[The Noble Lord]

Oh really, care to explain how and to give details and evidence that backs up your statement??..

Tennessee or Arkansas for me

By what criterion?

It is true that Arkansas is the seat of the biggest KKK organisation today (Knights of the Ku Klux Klan). Does that make Arkasas a racist "state"?

There are two branches of Aryan Nations in Pennsylvania and S.Carolina, Westboro Baptist Church is in Kansas, the National Socialist Movement in California, Nation of Islam in Detroit (at least founded there but mainly East Coast), Jewish Defense League in N.Y., New Black Panther Party in Texas..should I go on?

California has the highest number of hate crimes (1297 in 2006) but if you control for population than the hate crime capital is:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

New Jersey! 759 hate crimes for 1/4 of California's population

Mississippi had 0 hate crimes. Make of it what you wish, but I think it's understandable.

All that according to The US Department of Justice

Of course lots can be said about the methodology, as usual, but I think the numbers are pretty indicative.

Does this mean that California is a "racist state" while Mississippi ain't? I doubt it. As I said in the beginning defining criteria for such categorization must be a nightmare.

In my humble opinion the most racist state is the State of Ignorance. But we can do something about that. right?

Arizona

[Garbarsardar]

Arizona

Because is starts with the same letters as Aryan?


BTW, I moved this here from Traveler's lodge because it's not exactly an "exciting places you'd like to visit" type of topic.

[★Bandiera Rossa☭]

I know but I was hoping you would get what I was trying to say

Perhaps change the name to state/region/territory.

Because is starts with the same letters as Aryan?

Well I was thinking the whole thing with the "Minute Men" assaulting and killing Latinos, as well as the whole immigration thing.

I knew that. But is this sufficient criterion to brand a State "racist"?

[★Bandiera Rossa☭]

I knew that. But is this sufficient criterion to brand a State "racist"?

As more Racist than other states? Perhaps, as intrinsically racist? No, I don't believe there is any state in which the majority of people are Racists, but does Arizona have official policies which many find racist? Yes.

[Emperador Carlos]

GAH!!!!


Read the damn law!! There's not one racist thing in it!!!! It's just the whiny Obamaniac Left crying about it!!!

[Taxandrius]

Antwerp as stronghold of the far-right Vlaams Belang and city where some dude with a shotgun decided to "hunt for ".

though

Why not rename it "generalise the population of a certain area by claiming that they generalise others by perceived attribute".

That depends on your mindset...

Easy: Anywhere in east-Germany except west-Berlin, sad but true.

Not true.
I've been there, in several places, and it's not like there are Neo-Nazis hiding behind every bush. I know people who live in "Eastern" Germany and those among them who are sane (meaning those who are not radical Leftists) say it's not that much of a problem. The only native racist I've met in Eastern Germany was one ex-GDR citizen (a former Stasi employee, I was told).

The most racist areas in Germany are small areas, usually in cities. These are neighbourhoods where either Jews, natives (non-Jewish ones), or foreigners are at risk. In "Western" Germany and Berlin these would be some of the Turkish, Lebanese, or Moroccan immigrant communities. In the eastern parts, it's some rural areas or neighbourhoods in cities.


e: oh yeah, and technically those rich neighbourhoods where all those wits come from that gave us affirmative action and other forms of "positive" discrimination. Members of all our useless political parties are from there. If there's anything insulting to immigrants, it's this.

[SinerAthin]

Dunno, but we've had quite a lot of racist immigrants in Norway who makes gangs and becomes thugs. Their coming has also given birth to tiny weeny amateur racist groups among the native populace.

Makes me wonder why we're even letting them in sometimes xD

By "native" population you refer to the Sámi people, right?

Because everyone else came later.

[Norge]

Because everyone else came later.

Wrong.

[Ältester der Motten]

I am quite sure that this is only true for a part of Norway.
Also you could arge about a distinction between indigenous and native.

Not that it matters anyway.

Stop fussing around, everyone knows the French are the most racist people ! I mean the minister in charge of police was condemned for telling a racist joke in front of a camera and DID NOT resign ! A regional president was reelected after calling the harkis (the Algerians that fought alongside France during the Algerian war) "sous-hommes" (less than men), being openly anti-semitic and repeatedly racist against people of Arab origin !
The government doesn't care about immigrants, they put them in ghettos, and you end up with riots like in 2007 !
The government also sends back to Afghanistan all the refugees that don't have papers, and all the illegal aliens, even the ones that are in need of important medical care (they recently send back to some eastern Europe country a paraplegic boy and his family !). They have quotas to fulfill, the French policemen get miles by taking the plane with the immigrants, and almost every week a new scandal emerges but no one cares !

I am French, and I believe that a majority of French members will agree to what I say.
