^ this is somewhat accurate but even the American definition o f"white" has adapted with more and more immigration, but even in the accepted "white" group, there exists a hierarchy of "whiteness", with swarthy "off-whites" and MENAs at the bottom and Northern Europeans at the top, this is also a cultural concept in America, Anglo-Germanic Christian (WASP) culture is dominant and others are further and further away from the American capitalist model and therefore other cultures are forced to conform to a kind of "cultural whiteness" in America as well.
