Portland Maine has "those people" in it, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. I'd imagine Burlington does, too. Portland is probably one of the least white places north of Boston.
I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. There are some bad therapists out there.
True, though to be fair, the OP is neither the therapist nor the patient. So even if it is 'true' that it's what the OP has heard it's second-hand as relayed by the family member, whose veracity can't be determined.

Well, no city over 10,000 is going to be 100% white. Burlington is 95% white. Portland, ME is 85% white. Those are city proper numbers. The surrounding suburbs are all lilly white (the Portland Metro Area is over 96% White). It's not a diverse area by any stretch. For urban areas, those places are extremely white. Lowell, Lawrence, Haverhill, Nashua, Salem, and Lynn are all north of Boston and "less white" than Portland. Northern New England is the whitest region in the entire U.S., so the fact that Portland is the second most diverse city in Maine, NH, and Vermont (Nashua NH is the most), isn't saying much.
Makawao, Maui, Hawaii. Except it's a Whole Foods, not a Trader Joe's (yet).
It's upcountry away from tsunami danger.
Good choice, though its population is only about 7,000. However, Kahului and Wailuku aren't too far away, so maybe that'll make up for it.
I was going to suggest Hilo, mainly for the population and the basically zero percent chance of there ever being a drought there. However, the lack of sunny days could be a problem. Also, there's the natural disaster problem, though this risk can be mitigated by a careful study of tsunami inundation maps and lava flow maps. Not to mention, I don't think they have a Trader Joe's either.
If the "non-caucasian demographic" happens to be Native Hawaiian or Asian, I would just forget about Hawaii altogether.
What type of 21st century "therapist" would suggest moving to a city where there are no minorities (or not many) as being a logical solution to a problem? That statement alone would make most people reconsider the person's qualifications and advice.
Anyway, bad news OP: There are no places with a temperate climate and few or no minorities. Even places with intemperate climates (the Dakotas being a slight exception) have minorities dispersed throughout them. They also have Caucasian (actually EUropean descent or White might be more accurate as true Caucasians from Central Asia strongly resemble Arabs or Afghans) criminals.
