11. Virginia
Incidents: 108
Virginia ranks next on our list of the most racist states in America ranked by hate crimes in 2017, with over 8.4 million citizens. The Census Bureau notes that the state’s population is 70% white, with only 19.8% of the residents being of black or African American descent and 9.1% Hispanic or Latino.
Virginia is, of course, famous for the most brutal hate-based incident this year – the clash from Charlottesville. The August far-right rally ended up with a State of Emergency being called.
