compiled data on racism - social media posts, actual crimes, etc. - and showed it on a map. I haven't found it yet, but I did find the linked map - it's just twitter posts with racist terms.

to my memory, it's similar to what the one I'm after looked like. it's not that racism doesn't exist everywhere, but it's more likely to manifest in public ways in some areas way more than others.

ed. to give a link to the source - here's the wired piece about the project: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-05/14/hate-map

I'm multitasking this with work and family calls/msgs (worst of it is oldest sister in hospital the past couple of days - at least out of icu now, but serious stuff :/) all at once - I may dig a little more for it later. (users.humboldt.edu)

With the utmost respect, with regards t my subject line...it's what I think. It's my opinion. As someone who lives here... - Jim Nov 11, 19:08 5
- it's objective data, from neutral parties - there's no opinion in it. I don't know what there could possibly be to object to, but - b. Nov 11, 19:20 4
  - I'm talking about the idea that for some reason, my home is a racist hotbed. I don't agree with that. I live here. - Jim Nov 11, 19:44 2
    - you didn't say racist hotbed earlier, you said you don't think it's different than anywhere else. -- (edited) - b. Nov 11, 20:01 1
      - I know it may seem impossible that I forgot to say something else there, but I realized it when I was - i.b.! Nov 11, 21:09
