I dunno, but I believe it could be U.S. Northwest, since it's usually filled with white people and they all probably have lived their lives never seeing anyone who is black, asian, or hispanic. Yet I also probably might think it could be Southern states, since it's filled with rednecks and racial gangsters. What do you think?

IDK...I always had the feeling that the deep south would be a bad place for asians

Anywhere with a lot of rednecks

Three votes for the South and one for the Northwest so far. Ain't looking too good for my region.

Meh, No one thinks Texas and Asians anyways

^really? there are tons of asians in texas. mostly vietnamese though. so if you only talk to chanks i guess you'd go your entire life not knowing.

umm, my answer: DEEP SOUTH.

the depp south, btw, does NOT include texas. although IMO texas is a bad place for anyone who isn't rich or mexican.

Fine >>

Then north US in that case, asians in North Dakota? wth..

There is now a growing amount of Filipinos moving into Texas. I bet pretty soon most of the Asians in Texas would be Filipinos by 2020. Yet I frequently visit the Texas countryside, and yet all of the "white rednecks" seem to be interested in me and they talk to me. I dunno maybe they're just curious what it's like being Asian I guess.

Plus 89% of Texans consider their state part of the deep south.



I think the North-Midwestern US, despite mainly filled with Whites is pretty much not a bad place for Asians. Mainly because the Whites in that region are more educated and are less bigoted. I'd still say either the Pacific Northwest or the South, because the Whites and Blacks in those regions aren't exactly smart.

I'm thinking Mississippi.

I bet 0.1% of the people int he REAL deep south consider Texas part of the deep south.

Considering Texas and Georgia almost have the same culture (e.g. Chicken Fried Steak, Southern accent, country music scenes, etc.). I'd say probably not. Plus Texas was once part of the Confederacy, like the Deep South was once was. So the "real" Deep South and Texas are petty much 99% almost a like, so Texas culturally may be part of the Deep South but geographically isn't, and that's what fools people.

Been there, never got $hit from Mississippians.

I'm white and I live in the Midwest; I agree with you pretty much. There are ignorant people here, but they're not the hateful, angry type really that you might encounter in a lot of areas in the South (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia [outside of Atlanta, maybe sometimes inside, as well], Louisiana and Mississippi are known to be particularly bad spots in terms of racial intolerance).

And just in general, it's important to note that things are a lot different in terms of the types of white folks/black folks/etc. that you'll encounter based on whether you're talking urban/suburban/rural, in the same way it would work if the situation were reversed for a white person like me in an urban/suburban/rural setting in a country like Japan. Rural folks tend to be the less educated, and as a result of which less-informed (and unfortunately, usually more intolerant of different people).

I'd say probably yes?

Deep south IMO doesn't evne include Louisiana. It's just MS, AL, GA and maybe SC.

South Carolina is deep south, but Arkansas isn't? :P

Yes?

Why would it be? It's south, but not DEEP south.

to be more specific and based off personal experience.... Washington, PA (about 30 minutes from Pittsburgh). I lived there for couple months and i had to move because me and my siblings were treated like $hit. The adults were fine. its just our age group at the time, 15-16 year olds.

^ Really? I though PA was such a good place to be in if you're treated like crap in wherever you are.

Man can't believe we have a 1 vote for the Middle Atlantic.

I've heard in Texas a lot of rednecks loves to stereotype on asian is that true?..

Yes they do. But once they start being friends/date/work with one it all ends right there.

Hey hey hey. Quit rating on the pacific northwest. I'm from Seattle, and the people in my hometown are very friendly towards Asians. In fact Gary Locke was the first Asian-American government of a continental mainland state to take the governor office of Washington State. There are also plenty of Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Filipinos, Vietnamese and some Laotians living in Seattle.
Oregon, eh, the rural areas can be red-neckish. But Portland is a very liberal city, and although there aren't as many East Asians in Portland compared to Seattle, I'd still say Portland is a more live-able city than for an Asian to live in Louisiana, or Alabama or Tennessee where there are still white supremacist groups in those states (not to mention Indiana where I'm currently living).

And the north midwestern states better for Asians to live in? Are you kidding me? The north, like Wisconsin, N Dakota, S Dakota, Minnesota and Michigan are breeding grounds for white supremacist groups, or simply white people who hate minorities. Come on. I've been around Wisonsin people, and they sure dislike minorities, esp Asians. Remember Chai Vang and how those rednecks shot at him? And how they got what they deserved (those racists are probably burning in hell right now). Well, Wisconsin and Minnesota are NOT better states for Asians to live in.

As a matter of fact, I've also hung around with whites and black people from Alabama, Georgia, and they are more friendly than idiots from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and this one bald guy in my graduate class (I suspect he's a skin head) who's from N Dakota.

I hate how ppl just assume the South is a bad place for Asians. I've lived in TN my whole life. It's not like Asians are gettin lynched around here. It's more about whites hating blacks & vice versa. Everyone is pretty much cool w/ the Asians. In my town most of the Asians are Filipinos and we've always been a big part of the community. There are at least 10 Filipino owned bussinesses, including a Filipino restaurant. You can ask anyone if they know any Filipinos and most will say yes. I think my town is a great place to be Asian, specifically Filipinos. And i've been down to Mississippi because it's close to here. I didn't feel any racism. Most ppl down there are really friendly. Southern ppl in general are friendly. On the other hand, when I went up to NY. Ppl were assholes. It wasn't racism though because they were assholes to everyone regardless of race.

Wow interesting. Well Seattle & Portland may be the only exceptions but otuside of it it's all horrible, I'm talking about more than just Washington and Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. Mainly the reason why I've picked the Pacific NW is because some new report I saw on TV years ago showed that 60% of whites in rural Idaho, Montana, and Oregon have never seen a black, Asian, or Hispanic person in their lives, and they even said they would be less inclined to hang out with them.

As for the North-Midwest, I still say it's pretty good for Asians or other minorites to live in. I mean most of my white friends in school have at least lived in the Midwest for one time in their life or whatever, and trust me they behave more better than many Texan-born students that we have. They even are more tolerant of other cultures, while the Texan-born people that I know just say jokes that involve other people's accents and stuff.

But yet the South, is still horrible, because that's where all the redneck culture has it's stronghold.

ChinaTown.

Michigan, the entire economy is based on GM and Ford imo.

I would say Arkansas, some parts of Missouri, Tennessee and Alabama are terrible states for an Asian to live in.

Ironically, I met a lot of Alabama people who tend to be very friendly to me and say "hi" to me everyday. Southerners are way friendlier than people I have met from large "cosmopolitan" cities like L.A. and NYC.

That's because there's less ethnic conflict in the South.



Actually most people in northeastern Tennessee (my home) are friendly. If your mind your own business most of the idiots will ignore you.

Long Beach, CA. The Mexicans are trying to push out all the Asians through the use of violence. But it does not seem to be working cos' there are still a lot of Asians living there and they will not leave with out a fight. This results of this is of a lot of dead people, both Asian an Mexican.

Disagree. I think CA is so far based on what I've heard the best state for an Asian to live in.

Thats based on what you "heard". This is what I've witnessed. They may hate Asians elsewhere in the states but I would have to say by far you are more likely to get shot at in Cali just because you are Asian. This is not limited to Long Beach either. This racial conflict carried over to other parts of Los Angeles. A while back Japanese exchange students got shot in Torrance. For what? Just for being Asian. This conflict has made it down to OC, parts of San diego, pretty much most of the bigt cities where Latinos and Asian have to live together. Not sure how bad it is now but in the early 90's you can say these cities were a war zone.

This is not to say there aren't nice palces for Asian people in Cali. But mind you not, this are not the Beverly Hills or Malibu parts of Cali I am referring to. Even then, you never know when you going run guy into an angry Mexican guy that just got like 3 of his friends killed by some crazy Asain dude and wants payback.

Fortunately you have been sheltered from this ugly side of California.

Eh, Beverly Hills and Malibu are white areas, and Asian there still get shot there.

This is not to say there aren't nice places for Asian people in Cali. But mind you not, this are not the Beverly Hills or Malibu parts of Cali I am referring to. Even then, you never know when you going run guy into an angry Mexican guy that just got like 3 of his friends killed by some crazy Asain dude and wants payback.

Sorry about that. That was pretty confusing the way I structured those sentences. What I meant to imply was that the areas that these incidents occur (LB, inner city LA, East SD, Santa Ana) are not the best places to be sometimes. Some people just live there and have no choice. But just because you are not in these conflict areas does mean you won't be effected. At any given time you can be clubbing in say, Hollywood, where a lot of people goes to party, and find yourselve engaged in a hate conflict with someone who does not like Asian people. As sad and funny as it may sound there have been violent attacks against Asians at Disneyland (the happiest place on Earth) and Six Flag Magic Mountain by Mexican gang members.

deep south cuz there are lots of racist people (white AND black)
MOst of the south is black, and some black people are accepting of asians,
but most I would guess not (especially inner city)

kansas is the worst place for an asian person to b livin n but at vegas they got alot when i went there

MIDWEST hands down!

Alabama or Mississsippi. In these states many refer to asians as "yellow ni663r$"!

Live Long.

Man's Inhumanity To Man.

wyoming
there's like, no people there

I'd like to say California, particularly Southern California (the bad spots). Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians kill each other over race. All tied to varrios with gangs, and doesnt matter if you bang or not, you get killed because of your race. In the South, I bet asians can fit in and assimilate. I mean if you see a burning Buddha on your lawn, you'll just be surprised as everyone. It all depends on where Asians get killed the most, and that has to be in California no other state. I mean sure you have red necks picking on asian people, but it aint as bad as getting shot at.

And this is why I'm against illegal immigration. Kids of the illegal immigrants just can't get their s-hit together.

i know alot of asians in the 'deep south'. i'd say montana.

so these mexicans paid like what $60 or more to get in just to shoot asians?
what a waste of money

Utah

I don't think so. Those white Mormons are more tolerant than I'd say than most other whites in the country to people of another race.

I spent most of my life here growing up in Texas. Yes, some people are racists and some are not. Yes, i live out in the rural area just outside of Houston so i'm surrounded by rednecks. Where i live it's about 86% whites , 16% hispanics and maybe 6% blacks and me and a few other asian families dont even show up on the radar screen since out numbers are so small. Asians are more easliy adaptable to their surroundings no matter where they go.

Do you live in Pearland? Those numbers are quite familiar....

Although this isn't a rural area...

No, i live north of Kingwood which closer to Intercontinental airport north of Houston. Pearland and Sugarland are starting to get filled with alot of Asians escpecially Vietnamese, Filipinos and Chinese.

Yes, these country folks are raeely friendly down here. We call it the southern hospitality.

Pearland isn't really getting filled with Asians as much, most of the people moving in here are Black.

Country folks are friendly sometimes, but most of them are such ignorant bullies. I really don't believe in Southern Hospitality as much.

Typical Hillbilly attitude!!

Yeah....


More good reasons Canada is better.
