Considering it's the state with the lowest birth rate, it was my first guess.

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.

Just think of states with no big cities, where there weren't any plantations worked by slaves, and where there's not really any reason to move to.

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.

Didn't try Wyoming. I thought it had a higher Native American population than that.

If you're looking for common threads:

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.

Massachusetts and southern New England are very diverse in the cities.

I'm amazed that NH is the least guessed state on the list, especially as Maine and Vermont are the two most guessed.

Ah yes, "Top 10 Most White US States." You couldn't find a title that doesn't sound so racist?

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

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.
