Is "White" America's and Australia's national race?
Why are asians and blacks always perceived as immigrants, no matter how old they've been citizens?
It's just a personal obesrvation. I don't know if I'm making myself clear. My point is, when you look at a white American man, you don't question his ancestry . But when you look at a an asian, you feel he's a recent immigrant, and not an authentic citizen.
I saw many brochures advertising for the United States, and most of them showed white cowboy men and blonde girls.
Why are only european immigrants perceived as the authentic citizens, while non-whites are viewed as foreigners. For instance, when you think Australians, you think white anglo-saxon men, although Australia is, too, a country of immigrants.
