had brought up a related point a while ago, when I showed her a map of racist tweets conducted by HSU:

In a nutshell, she said that there seems to be a pattern that there is less racism towards Blacks in areas where not many of us are. For instance, there were hardly any spots on the map of racist tweets in states such as Maine (when you zoom in). Also, I can't speak for others, but I rarely hear anything much in the news about animosity towards us in countries where there are hardly any people of African descent, in general. I just thought that was an interesting tidbit.
