Of course a larger point to be made in all of this is that of course such racial stereotyping is bound to be inaccurate when taken to cases. It is maybe more to the point that white people don't think of themselves, typically, as a "race" - they think of themselves as the norm, and being labeled as a race with a culture - just as white people typically do to every non-white person - makes them really uncomfortable. It's a tiny taste of what we do to others.
