To the OP, overt racism would be shocking to almost all Nodaks (it just wouldn't be polite). Behind closed doors, yeah stuff gets said but to your face? Well maybe in the bar when everyone is drunk but otherwise never. That kind of thing just isn't done here. The culture is changing though will the influx of new people from all over so who knows what will happen in the future. But for now people are more likely to judge you for the way you behave and speak to others rather than for the color of your skin.
