States with highest percentage of white Americans

Vermont 96.2%
Maine 95.5%
New Hampshire 95.0%
West Virginia 94.3%
Iowa 92.9%
Idaho 92.1%
Wyoming 91.6%
Minnesota 90.94%
North Dakota 90.9%

Almost all of these states are majority rural, though. Don't know if that will work for you. New Hampshire, Vermont (Burlington), and Minnesota (Minneapolis/St Paul) might be your best bets

How exactly?
Am I missing something here?

Rural is a bit of stretch as I don't have a car yet. However, it is something of interest for me for its serene qualities.

Perhaps I should have asked for clarification to your question. How does what work?

Sorry, my mistake.
My question was how would one change their race?

It could work by genetic editing through CRISPR, Biohacking, plastic surgery where 3D printed tissues and such fails. I await the maturity of these technologies.

Until then, it starts with a state of mind, choices one makes over their counterparts. More subtle changes like voice inflection or pronunciation of words like, water, sometimes pronounced warder. It's not better or worse. Although, I much prefer to hear their version. Much then depends on what part of the world you're in, a Caucasian's voice inflections may differ overseas or on opposite coasts.

My choice is not without reason, besides my initial attraction, my black peers call me white and reject me as kin. Whites have a valid reason to reject my kinship, but I'd like to increase my chances. Perhaps, I could remain as I am, though it has not done me any good.

If you're serious here, then this is heartbreaking. Good grief. Race does not define what type of person you are.

I understand where you are coming from. I would highly recommend the Midwest. It is not too expensive and there seems to be a lot of jobs there. I am also considering relocating to an area that is predominantly White. I currently live in the Dallas, TX area and I am not truly happy here. I relocated to Texas from PA in April 2018 and it is not my type of environment. It is very segregated and there is a lot of subtle racial tension among different races here.

Yikes.

First, CRISPR is genetically editing embryos. Not fully matured humans. That’s centuries away if I had to take a wild guess. Not happening in your life time.

Second, I’m sorry you feel rejected. I know how that feels to feel alone because of what you look like. But desperately trying to wear the costume of something you're not won’t make you feel better. I’m mixed race and grew up in a all white area and often times felt singled out. For several years I disliked myself. But then as I built up my life, I started to accept and appreciate the person who I MADE myself to be through my own work and accomplishments.

Dicing yourself up to look like another race won’t make you happy. You’re not running from being black, you’re running from isolation and rejection, and the things that will actually save you are having a stable life, then growing in healthy ways from there. Not dicing yourself up.

You can live in a white society without changing who you are either. I’ve lived in rural white america and I still spoke with my philly area accent and mannerisms and obnoxious laugh and fit in great.

I would like to steer this back to the original question as any response to this could provoke racial tension. However, thank you for your concern.
