PHOENIX — Every region in America carries its own reputation, but often times it’s hard to tell what people really think of each state across the country.

One Reddit user has attempted to change that by way of Google Autocomplete, and you might be surprised by the top results for Arizona.

The user Salem-Witch simply typed into Google “Why is (each state) so _____, then took the three top autocomplete suggestions from the search engine.

For Arizona, the results came back with hot, racist and conservative.

Hot was a common theme in the southwestern United States, as could be expected. However, Arizona was one of just four states in the country where people were curious about racism, according to the results.

The top three results for all 50 states can be found here.

We want to hear from you.
