Well educated white people tend to be more sensitive to things seeming racist, because they really don't want to seem racist. Hence the idea of political correctness (PC). I get the impression that Asians in Asia don't care as much about being PC as white people in America.
But that difference - like the differences you mention - isn't racial, it's cultural. The culture just happens to correlate with the race.

There are plenty of white minorities that would identify with this. E.g. Jews have Hebrew school, Greeks have Greek school. Have you seen the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding?

But because they correlate with race, they get imposed upon you and associated with you even beyond what culture brings. > There are plenty of white minorities that would identify with this. Part of this must take into account how Jews and Greeks were not considered 'white' for centuries. Furthermore, it also speaks to how I don't even know exactly why the average white person implicitly doesn't understand me.
