Even if they are refering to other Americans. Like its a mentality of "Us against They".
I have a white friend in Dallas who used the words" these or those people" but in a mocking way. The whites posting here are not joking when this words are used.

It's a very common term of reference used by all people not just whites. I do feel regret for some people who knowingly use it as a racist separation term. My personal view is that the world should realize that we are all brothers and sisters in the eyes of God and should behave as such, like one universal family.

I agree wholeheartedly ! All races could be smart, it is not "performing white". so which you have been clever? that doesn't make you to any extent further ideal than those different little ones, and that they are actually not cooler than you. Few human beings have mentioned that to my face. that's what they did each and every time I spoke in school:They asked me if i grow to be blended ! yet in basic terms when I mentioned something. i don't use alot of slang. what's incorrect with being a nerd? :) yet i ought to assert that intelligence isn't measured via PHD's! not all people needs or desires one. Be the extra helpful woman and forget approximately those human beings. yet performing smug and asserting how clever you're, merely isn't...clever.

Perhaps you would like us to use the language that I hear coming out of the blacks mouths that are white haters they call each other names. Why so much hatred in this world why is it a racist thing to convict a black man but not a Mexican? you know what the Mexicans won't be mad that I said this I mean calling them Mexicans you see they are still not mad. We are all Americans including all the blacks Mexicans and whites and any other nationality I forgot I am sorry but you are all Americans get use to it. This country can never go anywhere with all the racial conflict that goes on. Whites will hate blacks because of the NAACP who thinks blacks are never the problem guys like Jessy Jackson who is always available for some air time. These are the people who cause all the hatred. You say you have a white friend well he can not be much of a friend to you if you can not tell him about what you do not like. He probably does not even know he is saying it. Good luck in your world of everybody picks on me

Yes.
I've also noticed the use of the word "Whites", which I take most people to mean European American. I kind of feel left out. There's African American, Asian American, Mexican America, but If I go around saying Euro-American I get bashed to kingdom come and back. I suppose I'm not allowed to have an ancestry. Of course, I don't really want to use the term Euro-American, as I just consider myself a plain old American.

Maybe, but I see just as much about "those" whites.
Uses of the terms they and those connotate something that you are not associated with. I can talk about those politicians, because I'm not a politician. I can say they when referring to immigrants because I still live in the country I was born in, otherwise I'd use we or us. Its just the way the language works.

I've noticed that Mexicans and black people use the word "racists" whenever they don't get anything they want.
You don't want to date one of them because you already have a boyfriend? You're racist.
You won't give them free food because they have 10 illegitmate kids and you have student loans? You're racist.
Never ending use of the word.

That isn't a matter of being white but a matter of linguistics.
"We" and "they" refer to being within a group or outside of a group, regardless of who is speaking.
"My neighbors are the Jones's...THEY drive a green car...."
I can't imagine what the issue is here.

American whites are English speakers. English speakers use the word they as a third person pronoun.
"They is a third-person, personal pronoun (subject case) in Modern English."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They
Those is a plural of that. And people are a group of humans. Would you rather be refered to differently than a group of humans?

All this post is is your contempt of the English language.
