I think wherever state you go to, there will be always some kind of racist you can meet one or two racist person everywhere you go so the state where you should be going must be considered depending on the job you want to have or is expecting to have
Not an American and I've never visited the country, but from the summary of what I'm getting from this thread is that the big cities like new York and California, are more accommodating with very minimal racism, but the cost of living in these big cities are very high. While the country sides have more racists but their cost of living are more cheaper compered to the big cities. So it'll come down to preference, if a white person from perhaps Europe, wants a state in America, that the cost of living is moderate, then the country side states will be preferable, because there'll be no racism concerns for the person. But if the person is perhaps asian or especially black, then the big cities can be a better option because of the acceptance of people of all races, but they have to contend with the high standards of living. My analysis is based on assumption, as I've not carried out any research on the topic outside of this thread.
