This is the point that most white people do not understand.  White people are not looked at in anyway in terms of race - when people met them they are not thinking where are you from; what holidays do you celebrate that is different them me; you are different than me, etc.  I bet mose white people never (have to) think about themselves in terms of race, because their white/culture race is not brought to to attention/made an issue of in anyway.  On the other hand, most people of other races have experienced at one time or another, the well intentioned or otherwise, situation when comments and conversation make it clear that they are thought of as different.  That they are not "really" part of the group.  I think this is what OP experienced.[/quote]

so now you are generalizing about "white people" which quite frankly I find offensive and furthermore, I prefer to be referred to as Caucasian. [/quote]
