>> This seems plausible. Look at Texas. The majority are concentrated in East Texas. Which is where the most of the blacks in Texas are concentrated. So, I guess the blacks were most vocal with their racist tweets? The point is, without knowing precisely what is meant by a "racist tweet", it is worse than meaningless, probably misleading. (As a side note, apparently, the author of the article doesn't know the difference between Arkansas and Alabama). In particular, I'm pretty sure blacks use the n-word today far more extensively than whites do. There are tons of statistical problems with the article, though. Most notably, the population of "racist tweets" is crazy small, making the entire thing clearly statistically insignificant. Further, there is no measure of covariance presented to take into account that Obama won rather than loss. What would have been the source locations for anti-Morman hate tweets had Romney have won? Plausible, but meaningless.
