Background: The objective of the current study is to investigate whether an area-level measure of racial sentiment derived from Twitter data is associated with state-level hate crimes and existing measures of racial prejudice at the individual-level.

We characterized sentiment of each tweet (negative vs all other) and averaged at the state-level.

An online survey was completed by 3273 Quebec residents (49 % 18−39 years old; 57 % female; 49 % White).
