"ERM, I'm actually Dutch reformed"

Do you speak Dutch?

"No"

Actual Euros routinely mock Americans who pretend to share an ethnic identity with them. And honestly, I don't blame them. If these people were actually serious about it then at least they would put in the effort to learn the language of the group they claim to belong to, because at least that would be something, but they don't even do that. It's just so obviously fake and superficial. It looks idiotic to Europeans and frustrating and cringeworthy to Americans who are able to recognize the true and obvious.

The truth is unconsciously most people understand white identity. Most parents even in liberal cities like NY avoid living in zip codes where schools are black majority. Even in California bay area, white parents avoid areas where Asians are the majority in school district, even though schools are not plagued by discipline and quality issues like ones in black majority areas.

Even interracial marriage data show that most of the interracial marriages are in between whites and Hispanics or whites and Asians. Unconsciously people understand racial identity.
