I’ve shopped at that store and have had students visit that town when we were on a research lab near there.
We teach all but especially our women and non-white students to be extra respectful of the locals. They may not have seen an international student in their entire life. So even whites with an accent will be looked askance.
Minnesota is an amazing patch quilt of culture. The blue collar white parts of the state have lost power the last 40 years. We are going to be a solid blue for Biden, but there are terrible Trumpers too. I live in Congreddiinsl District 1, not quite as bad as Bachman but maybe worse because i think he is more competent in driving his agenda. He refuses to talk to or acknowledge a citizen who is not a white Christian, for example.
