Secondly, I'm glad to hear that people are aware of such things as I bolded -- I never assumed that people who were not minorities ever thought about it like that.
I will totally make you Jello salad with all kinds of stuff in it.

The thing you've bolded; important step for people who are involved in multicultural/ethnic/economic etc. situations. Just because one person who identifies with a group says or does something, doesn't mean all people who are also self identifying feel, act, or think the same way. I've seen some well intentioned, yet unsavvy people make some situations pretty awkward by saying something that may be fine with certain people, and not others.
