[size=16px][/color]Tweets calling the president a “monkey†or using racial epithets prompted a group of geography experts to try and break down whether the hateful language was more prevalent in some areas of the country than others.[/size]

[size=16px][/color]The bigoted tweets serve as a “useful reminder that technology reflects the society in which it is based, both the good and the bad,†said geography research group Floating Sheep.[/size]

[size=16px][/color]Mississippi and Alabama had the highest ratio of racist tweets. They were followed by Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, forming a “fairly distinctive cluster in the southeast†of online hate speech, the research finds.[/size]
