Incidents: 106
North Carolina is next up on our list of the most racist states in America ranked by hate crimes in 2017 and it’s home to over 10 million people. According to statistics, white people make up 71% of the population, with people of black or African American origins accounted for just over 22%.
Earlier this year, a man from North Carolina set fire to an Indian grocery store in east Charlotte and left a note at the scene signed with “White America.”
