Well my response was partially tongue in cheek, but you do realize CA also holds about 1/5 of the US population? I said "density", which takes population into account.<p>I think you're attributing the statement "red states" to Republican party. I think that's an unfair statement, but "red states" is a measurable geographic location, not a political ideology. And I'm pretty sure the map still would show that the density (if you take the total racists and divide by the total population of the red states) of hate groups is greater in the red states.
