You never feel uncomfortable when you are the only non-white? I too am non-white and see myself as white, due largely to the way my mother raised us.
My Father is white and my mother is hispanic, but I've been asked if I am Asian or Pacific Islander many times. I've also noticed a distinct difference in how people treat me when they see me, vs virtual or phone.
I meant to draw attention to how many non-whites are forced to immerse themselves in mostly white groups and can feel ostracized in the US.

Well I am white, so no. > I meant to draw attention to how many non-whites are forced to immerse themselves in mostly white groups and can feel ostracized in the US Well the majority of the population in the USA is white. No getting around that, even if a theoretical perfect distribution of diversity is achieved.
