12. Texas
Incidents: 107
Up next on the list of the most racist states in America ranked by hate crimes in 2017, we have Texas, a state with close to 28 million citizens. Data shows that nearly 80% of the population here is white, while only 12.6% is of black or African American descent.
The number of hate crimes here has spiked incredibly after the November election, with the Texas Observer noting there were more than 1,000 incidents of hateful intimidation and harassment reported since, from anti-Muslim fliers to anti-semitic graffiti and swastikas.
