Interestingly, the people that I have known from the Caucasus region did not consider American whites as Caucasian. They also didn't care to be referred to as white.

I'm sure they chose "Caucasian" because it sounds like a joke. A "white heritage night" would just be evil, right?

Not sure I understand your question. A White American is a cacasian person born in the US that has no ties to any countries outside of the US.

Sure, if you wish to break it down to specific regions and states. That doesn't really change the term....

That's because you're probably a descendent of recent immigrants.

...much like American blacks, the American white, the people of colonial descent, are an ethnic group who have no conceivable ties to any specific European heritage. They are just "white".

I, a negro, would go and sit down just as an observer, and find it interesting. We probably have a lot in common.

As long as its not a front group for a white-nationalist organization, I see no problem with them discussing their American white Heritage/culture. They exist.
