According to the FBI it is New York, California, Ohio and Michigan.
Has to make a intelligent person wonder.

I would love to see a source on this. How are they determining whether a state is racist? Is it based on racial crime per capita, a poll, or something else. Again, I would love to see the source.
If true, however, I would imagine it is because liberals tend to think of people as belonging to groups. That's why you hear them talking about the black community, or the hispanic community, the gay community, etc... This automatically segregates people and causes tension.
If they say, "Whites have too much of the money and Latinos don't have enough," the result is that Latinos feel oppressed by the Whites. The problem gets worse when they say, "let's tax those rich whites and give the money to the Latinos." Now, the Whites, who were feeling sympathic to the poor Latinos and giving to charities to help them, are angry at the Latino community for stealing their money.
Then ofcourse the media broadcasts the resentment and it starts to feed on itself getting worse every day.
As for why Texas isn't on the list, it's really quite simple.
1) Texans are very individualistic. We don't like being put in groups and told "this is what you think." Therefore we tend to look at people more as individuals rather than groups. "That black guy is a hard worker. But I don't like that other black guy because he thinks everyone is racist."
2) The other reason that Texas isn't on the list is because whites are actually a minority here. We know that if a racial crime was commited the criminal probably wouldn't live till the trial.

Hmmm, I think I would like to see the stats on this.
1) Don't assume that liberals aren't racists. People are liberals for a variety of different reasons... not just social issues. The same holds true for conservatives.... don't assume that they are racists... everyone affiliates with political parties and ideologies for different reasons.
2) In highly populated areas, there is more racial diversity, and hence *perhaps* more racial tensions. More people equates to more issues to contend with. However, I wonder if the statistics are actually accurate in that they take this into account. What you would be looking for is a baseline in proportion to populations to discover whether racism was more prevalent in areas than others (my assumption anyways)
Just some food for thought.

You don't offer enough information to give much of an opinion. What are they basing this on ?
I can only assume it is based on the states with the highest number of recorded accounts of racism (which would make sense then). Where are you going to have more claims of racism, somewhere like New York that is flooded in immigrants, or Texas, a place that any sane non-white person would know to stay clear of...
Ohio and Michigan wouldn't surprise me either. They'd be extremely religious states... religion and tolerance do not mix.

What makes me wonder is why you asked and answered the question. More importantly why you thought it necessary to ask this?
Be your own person, look beyond the surface of others. Before you know it you no longer see the color of a persons skin but you see the person.
As for an intelligent person, well that's another story!

Since they are liberal, they normally aren't afraid to SAY whatever they want, this may directly affect they're attitude to DO whatever they want as well. To show the world that they are racist would automatically mean they're liberal.
- i looked for the various meanings of racism but i just got myself confused. so that's all i can say for now.

Obviously you have it backwards.
Youre not taking population density into account when you interpret the data. Why dont you leave politics to those of us who are better at thinking through statistics?
