It might be 97% white because that is who wants to live there.
You do have to have some pretty good reasons to be there. The land and the water will only support a relatively small population in much of the state.

The resort areas - well, they're pretty but you have to put up with every loony that comes through. And, the prices are absurd and housing is hard to come by.

Where I grew up was marked on the map as "The Great American Desert," and that included much of Wyoming. Our closest neighbor was a Minute Man ICBM silo and underground launch control center. We had the equivalent of 60 Hiroshima atomic bombs parked at the far end of the calf pasture.
