Where do the most racists live in America? If you’re a person of color, you might say, (clearing throat loudly), everywhere.
But a new study shows that most racists tend to congregate in the rural Northeast and South, with a heavy concentration along the spine of the Appalachians running from Georgia up to New York and southern Vermont, according to a report published by PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed scientific journal, reports the Washington Post.
That’s great news for people of color, because now we know which cities and states to avoid, which is important health information.
From the Washington Post:
“Racially motivated experiences of discrimination impact health via diminished socioeconomic attainment and by enforcing patterns in racial residential segregation, geographically isolating large segments of the Black population into worse neighborhood conditions,” the authors write, summarizing existing research.
“Racial discrimination in employment can also lead to lower income and greater financial strain, which in turn have been linked to worse mental and physical health outcomes.”........................................ .................................................. ................................................
