Sorry, but I don't buy it ...

For Oregon, the "red area" is focused on The Dalles,
a small city of 12K, in a county almost devoid of people.
But then if you scroll to Calif, there's almost no red or blue areas
over San Francisco, LA, or other cities.

Maybe there is 1 very busy Tweeter in Wasco County that
can't abide his gay neighbor's cow pooping on his lawn.

"The data behind this map is based on every geocoded tweet in the United States from June 2012 - April 2013 containing one of the 'hate words'. This equated to over 150,000 tweets and was drawn from the DOLLY project based at the University of Kentucky. Because algorithmic sentiment analysis would automatically classify any tweet containing 'hate words' as "negative," this project relied upon the HSU students to read the entirety of tweet and classify it as positive, neutral or negative based on a predefined rubric. Only those tweets that were identified by human readers as negative were used in this analysis.

To produce the map all tweets containing each 'hate word' were aggregated to the county level and normalized by the total twitter traffic in each county. Counties were reduced to their centroids and assigned a weight derived from this normalization process. This was used to generate a heat map that demonstrates the variability in the frequency of hateful tweets relative to all tweets over space. Where there is a larger proportion of negative tweets referencing a particular 'hate word' the region appears red on the map, where the proportion is moderate, the word was used less (although still more than the national average) and appears a pale blue on the map. Areas without shading indicate places that have a lower proportion of negative tweets relative to the national average.

The numbers that appear in the map during a mouse hover indicate the total number of hateful tweets and number of unique users sending them in each county."
Also when you mouse over a spot, you can see the number of tweets is actually pretty small. This image was for "Chink." Only 10 people in all of Virginia using that word, and it's one of the biggest hot spots in the US.

hmmm... I don't have that function. Looks like a mostly nonsense map in that context.

Maybe they were just quoting Sarah Silverman?

I got jury duty … and I didn't want to go, so my friend said, "You should write something really really racist on the form when you return it. Like, you should put 'I hate chinks'." And I said, "I'm not going to put that on there just to get out of jury duty. I don't want people to think that about me." So instead I wrote, "I love chinks." … And who doesn't?

It's obviously working, the drug problem hasn't gotten worse.
[/sarcasm]

Even if that is total population and not percent of population, the numbers still suck.

Well there is a very strong correlation between the green line doing whatever the hell it wants and the blue line staying exactly where it is.

I'd like to see a graph of drug control spending Vs profitability of the pharmaceutical industry. Or drug control spending and the profitability of private prisons (and the companies like Victoria's Secret who use prisoners as forced cheap labour. [/predictable rant]

Beat me to it, and said much more eloquently than I would have.
