[QUOTE=Zambies!;40618302]That doesn't even make sense.[/QUOTE] On a few of the maps, there were very few tweets, which makes me happy. How does this not make sense?
[QUOTE=person11;40618309]On a few of the maps, there were very few tweets, which makes me happy. How does this not make sense?[/QUOTE] You going to tell me the biggest metro in the United States has very little bigotry compared to a average sized city like Boston?
Glad to see my state of South Carolina doesn't have any red in it!
[QUOTE=FlakAttack;40615766]Looking for things as obvious as nigger and spic won't be very interesting. You would need to get into the gritty details, like Israel vs. Palestine, India vs. Pakistan, racism towards caucasians, and anglophones vs. francophones (in Quebec, things are pretty heated right now). So many arab Canadians on facebook are constantly talking shit about jews and Israel, for example.[/QUOTE] The lack of commonly-used racial slurs for Aboriginal people would make it impossible to gauge the amount of bigotry in this country using keywords alone. Anti-semitism, anglo/franco shitflinging, and racism against caucasians [i]combined[/i] would be absolutely dwarfed by the amount of hate for Aboriginal people.
Well what do you know, i live in one of the most hate-filled areas around, Kentucky!
Cali quit embarrassing me.

Not really a great shower of demographics since I doubt many southerners are active on Twitter. [QUOTE=Zeke129;40618450]anglo/franco shitflining[/QUOTE] Alberta and Quebec are completely Dark red.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;40618643] Alberta and Quebec are completely Dark red.[/QUOTE] All you'd have to do is flag the phrase "transfer payments" to find the arguments
the north is so damn racist
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;40615937]abelist huh thats a new one for me[/QUOTE] well then you're obviously heteronormative cissexual scum!!
West Side Best Side Fuck Yeah!
I'm surprised there isn't a giant red dot over Kansas for "fag" alone.
[QUOTE=Tiersin;40613528][URL="http://xkcd.com/1138/"]http://xkcd.com/1138/[/URL] Basically this.[/QUOTE] They normalized for the the number of tweets in an area, that's why California is pretty blank despite being populated
[QUOTE=Scoooooby;40613308]In America, we have collected all the douchebags and put them in West Virginia and Virgina, so that when we want world peace, we know what state to bomb.[/QUOTE] But I'm in Virginia... Just send them to Florida, it's a useless state anyways.
[QUOTE=Riller;40613429]Wait, is 'cripple' an offensive word now? I know it only logs words used in a negative way, but is it [I]bad[/I] to say cripple these days? Always seen it as less-nice than disabled person, but not offensive. Then again, when I was a kid, 'spaniard', 'mongol' and 'negro' were okay, and now they're not. Oh well :v:[/QUOTE] When the hell was spaniard considered offensive?
i like how Deleware is reletively devoid of hate, surrounded by so much red. Its like a small oasis of tolerance.
[QUOTE=Griffster26;40621171]When the hell was spaniard considered offensive?[/QUOTE]Yeah, that's strange because that is actually one of the demonyms for someone from Spain (the other being Spanish).
collecting data stops at the Canadian border? I'm actually curious what the data would be like
Some towns in Texas are like singularities of concentrated hate.
[IMG]http://puu.sh/2SnyS.jpg[/IMG] that heat spot in western new york? that's my town.
this is bad data, LA one of the most hostile cities doesn't even register on this, nor does san fransisco, one would think twitter feeds from there would be filled with fags....
[QUOTE=Tiersin;40613528][URL="http://xkcd.com/1138/"]http://xkcd.com/1138/[/URL] Basically this.[/QUOTE] Because the most populace state California is obviously a beacon of red. Wait.
[QUOTE=gudman;40613790]You post (or just preview in a post) a word "nigger" and you're banned. I remember when someone posted that, about previewing. A lot of people got banned that day.[/QUOTE] that day? there was literally a one day ''no nigger'' event on facepunch? that's fantastic.
[QUOTE=bull3tmagn3t;40621600]collecting data stops at the Canadian border? I'm actually curious what the data would be like[/QUOTE] I would like to see the whole world [well the Twitter world I guess], Europe would be incredibly interesting.
[QUOTE=bull3tmagn3t;40621600]collecting data stops at the Canadian border? I'm actually curious what the data would be like[/QUOTE] it wouldn't register because everyone here spells and pronounces it as ''faget''.
haha, I love how texas is like the last bastion of 1920's oldtimey racial slurs [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/wvd3F6.jpg[/t] [editline]13th May 2013[/editline] What the hell, There's this town called Juneau on the Alaskan panhandle totally blank for everything until you punch in "gook" Are there even Vietnamese people living there?
Yo has anyone seen that you can zoom out and Hawaii and Alaska are accounted for as well
