> So, out of the 9 states in this country that I've personally spent significant time in, in many cases living in these states for years of my life: California is the only one I'm willing to put down roots in because I have a minority wife.
It sounds like you've spent time in areas that tend to be more racist than others, particularly the south. I'm sure you and your wife would have different experiences in the northeast, northwest, north midwest, or even Colorado. California will certainly be better than the south too, but it seems like the places you've been aren't generally the most welcoming to whom they deem as outsiders (non white).
