Stop playing cognitive dissonance. And no, you do not know your "own" people. I've heard white europeans even refer to white americans as 'animals'. I find it embarassing for you that you think you can speak for all caucasians or even europeans. lol
That's not true. They mean ALL Americans.

lol. The point is they sure don't feel any connection so that's an equivalent analogy and it has nothing to do with just culture of other races but of white bread america being very foreign to them.

I know plenty of Jews and Arabs and they all consider themselves to be white, not Asian, Black or Inuit...

Russians also have a different alphabet.
So do Greeks.
Are they also not white?
Bingo. Definitely of stormfronter persuasion.

To track affirmative action. Many people are interested in what races are employed and where they are employed.

If you have to chose color or group why would you choose any other than white?
