Yeah my parents moved from LA in california to rural Washington. People told them a kinds of things including that they wouldn't feel welcome .. we are brown skinned and they immigrated here. This area is deep red

The city they moved to is hours from am airport. Smack dab nowhere.

They didn't find it dangerous at all. To the contrary people there were extremely welcoming ... Very neighborly. They could leave their door unlocked and not be bothered.

The occasional (and I mean occasional) theft was big news and the guy was caught

Far cry from getting our house vandalized with gang graffiti
