If you are white American, then you can move most anywhere. 
If you are something else, then you need to select a neighborhood that will welcome you. 
BTDT. It's the first criteria for me. We are a mixed-race, international family, and we need to be careful of where we land.

Not really. Don't fall for all the propaganda about America being all racist. This is probably one of the least racist countries on earth in terms of the attitudes of ordinary people. There are welcoming communities all over this country. In fact, you might do better in a red state where incomes are more equal than a blue state big city where everyone is always gushing about how everyone is welcome but the rich people make a hundred times more than the poor people and all go to private schools.[/quote]

PP you replied to. I assume from this that you are white and have lived in places where you had the same culture as the majority. I have lived in many different countries and have experienced varying levels of discomfort: it's rarely open hostility (although I've experienced hostility from the people I'd least expect to have such thoughts, you're right about that), but more like fighting every day against ignorance and lack of cultural understanding, and the assumption that the prevailing culture is the best and that we come from worse. I'm too old to go through that again.
