Plus, Native Americans were here way before Europeans. America was "built" on the principles of freedom ad tolerance of religion, not on "white" principles.
Massachusets was founded on the principle of worship of the one true religion, no tolerance for heretics.

Its not hard, I just don't care and I know most white people don't care.
Most Americans who've been around hispanics, which would be most younger whites in much of California and South Florida among others. It's fairly easy to distinguish Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans apart. Though can't be 100% sure. I guess these people in Boston were Dominican... Apparently you believe the white American population is completely unaware of those around them.
Owen seems to forget that large cities here have large diversity, and since most people live in large cities they encounter minorities on a daily basis. He seems to think America is like Northern Ireland.

Because i've been to America and i've American cousins. The typical white American doesn't care.
In the UK we don't care! So I just see them all as American! Idc about race! Like get over it honestly, it really doesn't matter. Your skin colour doesn't define your culture.
Its exactly like the Catholic Protestant thing here.

But WHY do you care? Can't you all just get over it and accept that they are American and that is their culture? For example, Black Americans have been in America so long that they've adopted the white way of life, they don't have an African way of life!
As I said when I was there black and white were the same just American, not separate entities.
