Yes, but unfortunately we still have an awful racial history, particularly in Tulsa, we really need to think about.

No. The State of Red-People hold no racial insensitivities.

I read the "yes" and "no" options as the opposite - that a "yes" vote means Oklahomans are not racist, and a "no" vote means they are racist. Ay dio mio.

It depends on whether we gauge it based on explicit racism, implicit racism, or both. A majority would be in the latter two cases, no question.

Bushie, do you subscribe to the theory that us uppity elitist Northerners are the real racists?

Some people certainly think it is:

http://www.thetoptens.com/most-racists-states-us/oklahoma-459206.asp


No. 9 on their list.

Not necessarily representative of course, but still an indication.

Top 10

MS
AL
TX
TN
GA
LA
KY
FL
OK
AR

That list looks about right.

Kentucky worse than Arkansas?

The order is definitely debatable but the ten states that are in play seem about right.

Non-Oklahomans don't know what they're talking about, per usual.

I think the vast majority of white conservatives are at least somewhat racist, and Oklahoma is almost entirely white conservatives, so yeah.

Not outright KKK-level racist. But the kind of racism where people call the President "Obabo" and talk about how affirmative-action has made black people "uppity"
