Re: Police: Multiple Victims in South Carolina church shooting [W:224]
The problem is - the SPLC doesn't track individuals - just organized groups. Per capita, there may be fewer racists in NY, but we can't assume that because they have so many more groups. Given the geographic size of the states and the fact that NY has more than twice as many hate groups, it stands to reason that the chances of running into a member of a hate group is higher in NY.
The relevant statistic here is the no. of anti-Black hate groups per capita in SC vs. NY.
