It is not surprising that people say racist things on Twitter –every day there is something in the news about some celebrity or famous athlete who has done so. But, what percentage is it? Turns out it is estimated that one in every 15,000 tweets contained a “racist or ethnic slur.” Actually, it is probably even less than that since anywhere between 47.5 percent and 70 percent of those were “non-derogatory” or used to “express in-group solidarity.”
