I am looking for a state which has

- a lot of racial diversity ( a lot of Latinas preferably )
- a cost of living which is not through the roof
- does not have an off the roof crime rate
- isn't suffering severely from the economy (or won't be suffering much from the economy in the future)
- Latinas who wouldn't hesitate to date an Indian guy
- lots to do to keep a person busy

All are the biggest states in the country, meaning all will have plenty of things to do. I am biased so I will say NY first and then TX. The economy automatically eliminates CA or FL from the discussion otherwise both would have been great alternatives. Housing prices may eliminate CA as well unless you want to try Sacramento which IMO offers just as much as places like Orlando and Tampa. All known for Latin American presence.

I didn't know Florida was that hard hit by the recession, is it?

Florida is bad and didn't ever have the key industries of California either. Meaning even in a good economy the jobs are notorious for low pay low benefits and service industry oriented. However there is no state income tax which is apprealing for both TX and FL.

Ya every FL city is in double digit unemployment just like every CA city right now with the exception of Tallahassee. The better states for you right now are NY and TX, both can offer wide variety of different backgrounds, reasonable COL, good economy, and you get what you pay for in both in this recession.

NY
Albany 7%
Rochester 7.7%
Buffalo 8%
Syracuse 8%
New York 8.5%

TX
Austin 7.1%
San Antonio 7.6%
Dallas 8.2%
Houston 8.6%

U.S.A
9.3%

CA
San Francisco 10.3%
San Diego 10.4%
San Jose 11%
Los Angeles 12.1%
Sacramento 12.6%

FL
Tallahassee 9%
Jacksonville 11.6%
Orlando 11.9%
Miami 12.1%
Tampa 12.6%

Unemployment Rates for Metropolitan Areas

C.O.L: TX, NY, FL
Racial Diversity: CA, TX, FL, NY
Good Economy: NY, TX
Latinas/Latinos: CA, TX, FL, NY
Lots to do: CA, TX, NY, FL

NY and TX are your best options, big states with big cities, reasonable C.O.L can be found in both states, decent economies, lots of interracial dating in either

Alright I see.

Which state has the most open minded Latinas? Like they won't hesitate to date or go with me JUST because I am Indian? Like ones who would go with me based on who I am as a person.

Friends have said Florida has a lot of racist White Latinos who don't want a thing to do with non-Whites and NY has Puerto Ricans who only associate with Blacks or other Hispanics.

Obviously you are interested in Latin/Hispanic Women. I am married to a Latin/Mexican Woman. I live in Texas. Just ask one out where you live. the worst she could say is no. But all of those states meet you criteria. I think that you are limiting yourself to one certain group though. You should have titled the thread "Where Can I Find Latin Women Who Date Indian Guys?".

I would post it but it would get locked as it is race related. This one has more so to do with my interests in terms of education and living, also trying to date a Latina is one part, like which state would be the best option for me.

However not all Puerto Ricans are like that. You will find PRs that will like Indian men
