Don't be. You asked a sincere question and got sincere answers.
I don't think anyone is angry.
On another note, I do know that just because you are White, it may mean that you may be of different European heritage - Irish, German, English, French. The issue is that in America, there are usually no boxes to indicate the difference. Boxes to indicate ethnicity are usually White, Black, Hispanic, Hispanic of African decent, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American.
Central Texas (around Austin) was populated by Germans and Czechoslavakians (I know I spelled that wrong!!) and to this day, they still have festivals that reflect their heritage - and no one has a problem with it. How many people do you know who would turn down a good time at a beer fest!!!! Down in Galveston this time of year, they have 'Dickens (as in Charles) on the Strand', which is very English and everyone goes down there to have a good time. I myself particiapted in the Cinco de Mayo play in the 7th grade. I was a Mexican rebel!!
