Would you rather live in Norway or Tennessee?

Certainly Tennessee. Even leaving aside concerns of weather and culture (both of which would be strong points in Tennessee's favor), as someone who is not white and belongs to a minority religion I would feel much more comfortable in Tennessee than in Norway.

Why would Tennessee be better for someone who belongs to a minority religion?  TN is heavily conservative Christian, while Norwegians are not very religious.

I'd choose Norway of course.

Tennessee, but only because I would kill myself under Norway's weather conditions.

Norway's coast averages above freezing in winter.

You're saying that as if that was enough to make it tolerable.

It's not tolerable.  It's enjoyable.
