Many of these apply equally to groups other than whites

1 - Most people have no trouble associating with their own race. Families, homes, and neighborhoods are quite often fairly monochromatic.
3 - This doesn't apply to everybody, but there are plenty of depictions of diversity in tv and the news
4 - Diversity is a big thing in schools. When I was in elementary school we learned plenty about the West African heritage of African-Americans
6 - Different races are widely represented in music stores. The hair thing is particularly bizarre. Is there a dearth of beauty/barber shops catering to specific groups?
10 - Of course white people can do this. Affirmative Action doesn't apply to them. If somebody receives a position because of an affirmative action policy, why wouldn't there be an assumption that the policy is being used for its intended purpose? Isn't that what it's there for? I guess the beef is that people will assume that's whey they are there, but if the policy is in force, that is sometimes the case.
15 - Whites get pulled over in African-American neighborhoods all the time. The cops often assume you are there to buy/sell drugs. I'm not saying that's a good thing, but it happens.
19 - Whites are still a majority in this country. There are more of them than anyone else -- of course they will be more represented in classrooms than other groups
20 - Is being taught by someone of your own race a right? Why should race be a factor in who teaches what? Who cares as long as they are qualified.
