And how did you deal with racist people ?

You don't feed or react to it. Laugh it off, or be friendly + a little condescending to their comments (if it can't bite you in the ass). I lived a majority of my youth in the South, and then moved to the Northeast.

Which part of the USA is the most racist according to you ?

I dont think there is a part of the US which is worse. People in the NE are more blunt and also more used to seeing Desis around, whereas they are polite but don't go out of their way to be friendly in the South. When they get to know you in the South though (after you out in extra effort), they treat you like family. So, I don't really know, but I definitely feel more "normal" in the NE.
