"white" is a race. this is where "looks" come in. obama belongs to the black race because he looks like a negro.
the white american ethnicity is not a race, it is an ethnicity. other white ethnicities include german, dutch, swedish, etc. they all fall under the white race umbrella.
similarly, chinese, korean, jap, etc. all fall under the oriental race because they all look basically the same.

that's fine but all of those people hated each other 100 years ago and rightfully so, they don't have anything in common. the only thing uniting them now is that their skin is lighter than that of the people moving into their neighborhoods. that's a very shallow tie.

I remember that when I was an expat we had a huge community of other expats. You would do crazy shit like celebrate Thanksgiving and the 4th of July together like you were one big happy family.
It works the same for immigrant communities. When I was growing up basically anyone from any former Soviet country was immediately your friend. Now it sucks dick because there are a million divisive issues so it isn't true anymore. I really miss that.
expats are living in a foreign country temporarily, like whites in Asia. immigrants are living in a foreign country permanently, like orientals in the West. hth, chaebong
