A friend of mine was saying the other night that he and his friend got called "white people" in a joking, somewhat derogatory way. He's only half "white," his friend's background is Chinese, and the guy saying it to them was Russian. He said that in his experience, in other countries, people usually pay more attention to other things, like one's religious affiliation, and that the concept of a "white person" is a very "American" construct.
