^ Well, they may try to seperate themselves but that's just a grab for individualism. When it comes down to it, most white people in America will treat other ethnicities differently from whites.
In school, our teacher was guiding us through this form we had to fill out for state tests, she explained that caucasian was white and one kid piped up that everyone in the class was caucasian except me and the whole class swiveled to look at me. There is definitely a white America in the minds of white people.

hey ive been in the same situation but its not lik they really feel a bond against the minorities, white americans dont really think about race unless white is the minority where they live, they dont think they r all the same against minorities, they think tht every1 is normal xcept the minorities xcept most white people dont think tht in a racist way

I live in the South, racism is big down here and there aren't many minorities. Amongst whites, yes, they will seperate themselves into English, Irish, German, what have you, but when talking about minorities they will refer to themselves as white. I've had conversations amongst my friends where they've said, "You had a different experience here because you're not white." That is lumping the caucasian races together, the majority around here, contrasting against anyone else. Here, think of it this way. You can place an apple, orange, and peach on a table and people will name the different objects, then place a steak on that table and people will lump them together as fruit.
