That's the only one I didn't get. I started off guessing New England states, then moved on to "flyover" states, and didn't think to try the rest of the east coast.
Well I tried Alaska first and that one didn't work. I guess the natives don't identify as white either. American race categories are really confusing. To me, black and white describe skin colour and not much more, I absolutely don't get how it's something you "identify" as. I first heard about the whole subject when Condoleeza Rice described how people told her to act "more black" and I just didn't get what they meant.
1. Geography (far from states where slavery was legal, except for West Virginia, which seceded from Virginia specifically because they didn't have many slaves, and far from the Mexican border).
2. Lack of large cities. In these ten states there are a total of 4 cities with (metro area) population over 150,000: Omaha (466,893), Lincoln (284,736), Boise (226,570), and Des Moines (217,521). Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Maine don't even have a single city over 100,000.
West Virginia was my first guess after the New England states because I'm from Virginia and have been to WV many times. Whenever I've gone anywhere in Appalachia, I've always been fascinated by the total lack of black people. Seriously if I'm in a public place, I catch myself waiting for one to walk around the corner or something, and it never happens.
How is that title racist? Just because something mentions race doesn't mean it's racist. People are just so oversensitive now that any time someone says the words "black" or "white" it sounds racist.
Just kidding ;)

Not that I have a problem with it, I'm just saying
