A new study that is produced from the data on Google states where the most racist people are in America which is the rural Northeast and the South. This data has been found accurate because it relates very well to the mortality rates of blacks regarding income, housing, and ethnicity. This map shows the patterns of racial segregation which results in unemployment and mental and physical health problems because of poverty.
Racism has consistently been an issue throughout America, and the major view people would take from this article is that it is a great tool for people who need to find out the most racist places in America and relate those to the places of the early 1900s. Other views would say that this is useless because most people already know where the racism is and most of it is on social media and within schools and jobs, so there needs to be more searches for solutions rather than just discovering where the racism is.

Was this map created to be used for a specific reason or was it just made without any purpose in mind?
