Where do you think the most Asian hate is tweeted from on twitter?

The Hate Map reveals “hate tweets” from around the United States. The map above represents tweets negatively referring to “Chinks.” There is also another one for “Gooks”. It’s a form of public shaming that could prove effective in getting people to examine their surroundings and perspectives. The Hate Map also covers homophobia and disability.

The Geography of Hate is part of a larger project by Dr. Monica Stephens of Humboldt State University (HSU) identifying the geographic origins of online hate speech. Undergraduate students Amelia Egle, Matthew Eiben and Miles Ross, worked to produce the data and this map as part of Dr. Stephens’ Advanced Cartography course at Humboldt State University.

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.
