Unfortunately, it would take a serious in-depth study to determine which areas are most and least likely to be racist. You'd need to survey people all over the country, cities and rural areas alike, and you'd have to disguise the survey as something else. Maybe a study on poverty, or migration patterns, or some such.
Then you'd need to have a bunch of useless questions on the survey, along with a few slipped in like "if your daughter fell in love with {member of group X}, would that bother you?"
It's tough to get people to tell the truth about bigotry. It's hard enough to tell ourselves the truth, let alone some cracker mex-loving Ivy-league pollster.
