@Kasz. To the best of my knowledge the most racist part of America is rural deep south. Places like rural Mississippi, places where they still have segregated proms.

Mississippi?  Thought that only happened in georgia... either way... they're VERY isolated incidents.

When you are actually talking about measuring things like hiring discrepensy and who gets called back for job interviews and the like...

it's always the north.

Like when you do the "send in resume's and do interviews randomly with black names and people."

I'd bring up the journal articles but I don't have accesses to sociological journals anymore since i'm out of college.


Or bring up minority unemployment rates, but i swear to god, they hide them for some dumbass political reason where they don't want some states to get called out vs other states.

I've checked like 3 government websites and none of them seemed to track state by state minority unemployment.  Or it just might be I can't find it because the website layouts have all the charm of a 6th graders website on geocities.

 

Closest I could find is that Minnesota has the second highest level of dispairty of unemployment between white and black people and white and latino people.

With Wisconsin being higher for White and Black, and Rhode Island higher then white and Latino.

 

Which, doesn't tell me much.  Minesota I believe leans liberal.   Rhode Island is liberal.   RI is in the NE, the other two are in the central area.

Doesn't really tell me much though... I mean, their minorities levels are probably so low it's outlier territory.
