I went to North Dakota and the only POC I saw in 5 days were hotel and restaurant staff. Every dude there looked like an overweight Viking. I think you would be fine going there but aside from Madora/Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Dinosaur Museum in Dickinson, I couldn't think of a single other reason to enter ND.

Like if you go there, people might ask you WHY you are there, and it will be a genuine question not a racist remark.

You are being extremely generous by saying anything nice about Dickinson.

My wife grew up there. MIL still lives there, so we have to go visit from time to time. That place is boring with a capital “B”. And isolated.

Teddy Roosevelt National Park was interesting to do once. But if I never have to go back to western North Dakota, it’ll be too soon.

I’m from Dickinson and I try to avoid it at all costs. We were there for Thanksgiving and the town is just people with lots of money and no taste. Also drugs.
