Why do mostly white people live in cold states?

Answer 1

I think it has to do with when the South had most of the slaves.

Answer 2

Well, it is rather difficult to give a definite answer on this one without sounding stereotypical. For starters, most races, tend to move in areas that are familiar. People do this regardless of race. So white people maybe live in colder states because the north east was the first to be established in this country by the pilgrims and therefore has set the trend to the Caucasians as the place to be because of comfort.

Answer 3

It's no coincidence that the "Fargo" accent sounds vaguely Scandinavian. Early immigrants to this country tended to gravitate toward geographic regions that reminded them of home, and they were disporportionately Caucasian. As the country became more industrialized, more people settled in larger citites, rather than taking up agriculture. Later waves of immigrants, which included more Asians, Africans and Latin Americans, settled where the jobs were, and generally that wasn't the frigid North. And, of course, the large concentration of African Americans in the South is a reminant of slavery. The general trend of population movement, without regard to race, has been toward the sunbelt. All of these factors contribute to less "diversity" in the sparcely populated northern states. There are many exceptions, however, such as the large number of African Americans living in Detroit.

Answer 4

There's a feature in National Geographic last year about how people came about. According to that show, all people came from Africa and they were all black and had flat noses. Then, because people back then were nomads (went from place to place in search of food and resources), they walked from Africa to different parts of the world like Asia and the West.

As a form of survival, they became white in the cold because the sun is not as hot as it use to be and so people needed less melanin and when there's less melanin there's less pigmentation and they'll tend to have a lighter skin color. Then their noses become bigger so that they can get more oxygen in that cold weather.

So that's the biological theory of it. :)

Answer 5

That is an interesting question. Where did you hear that? I am white and used to live in a cold state. But so did my black friend and Asian friend. Not sure if it is really a race thing but many white settlers settled in the Midwest.

Answer 6

or maybe they are white because they live in cold states. There are warm places with a lot of money involved in them , businesses...

Answer 7

I would say that Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Massachusetts are all cold states with a lot of people of color. Chicago, Philly, Detroit, etc. Your statement has no merit, it simply isn't true.

Answer 8

White people know that blacks don't like the
cold, so the whites go there to get away from the
blacks and live in a pure, clean, white environment.

Answer 9

black foks hate the cold with a passion

Answer 10

Because slavery was in the southern (warmer) states.
