I've seen some unfriendly attitudes towards Mexicans and some other Latinos (usually when they're confused for Mexicans), but Europeans or Australians... very rarely, mostly in rural Southern towns, but I'm hoping that's not where the OP is intending to move.

Texas seems cool but not really what I'm looking for. I'm not looking for vast open spaces, giant shopping malls, big highways etc, which is what we have here. New England mainly appeals to me for the beautiful scenery. I'd love to live in an old colonial style home surrounded by maples and beeches and all those northern trees.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Chicago. The city is cheap compared to older cities such as New York, Boston, DC, LA, or San Francisco. It has large swarths of ethnic groups all throughout with Mexicans, Italians, Poles, Lithuanians, Irish, Puerto Ricans, South Asians, and African Americans being dominant in distinct parts of the city and immediate suburbs.

Chicago might offer a more 'quintissentially' American experience than say San Diego or Boston, although all are equally American in their own way, Chicago is probably more representative of America as a whole. The only thing that would turn me off it are the very cold winters.
New York, California, Georgia, Texas, Illinois is a great option in my opinion.
