Interactive map of racist, homophobic, and ableist tweets

- tomflack 13y agoThe first thing that went through my head was "It needs to be rate of hateful tweets against the baseline tweet volume of the county, not just overall rate"
- yen223 13y agoTo be fair, the publisher claims that "all tweets containing each 'hate word' were aggregated to the county level and normalized by the total twitter traffic in each county"
- wgato 13y agoQueer is a way more accurate word to describe myself than gay. So my profile info is considered hate? This doesnt work at all without context.
