Other northern (but not necessarily northeastern) race riots include Toledo and Cincinatti and Benton Harbor.
In the previous 20 years, excluding Florida (most of which is not part of the cultural South), there hasn't been a race riot.
Furthermore, out West you have stuff like Southcentral Riots in LA, Inglewood High, Lock High School and so on.
If I have forgotten a race riot in the new South (post-1985), excuse me. But, I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Don't you think you're being pretty narrow with your definition of "violent racism?" It wouldn't just encompass race riots, but would encompass any violent crime (murder, assault, etc.) based in any way on the race of the victim.
If you're trying to say that racial violence occurs all areas, I agree with you. But, your examples don't show how "violent racism" is "indicative" of the Northeast or the West.
ETA: Yeah, I realize the breakdown table isn't especially helpful. I'm at work and couldn't find anything quickly that broke down incidents of racial violence in each region.
