[repost] I am Arab and always feel welcomed in Arab countries. Is there such a feeling among other ""ethnicities""? Asians? Latinos? White people?

I'm half Peruvian, half white, raised in the United States. I've traveled back to Latin America several times in high school and college, and I totally felt that kinship that you're talking about. Whenever I went with a group of mostly white people, strangers would interact with me a lot more frequently than with others, even though my spanish was sometimes worse! I can't speak for all Latin American countries, obviously (Peru and Chile especially have a nasty history), but I got this feeling not only in Peru but in Nicaragua also. In the US, I live in the south, and there are a lot of migrant workers that harvest tomatoes in the region. I've done a little bit of activist stuff with their group and I got the same feeling then too.

"I'm half Filipino and Pakistani, but look more Pakistani. In the States, whenever I see another South Asian, I feel like I'm being judged or "frowned down upon" for unspecified reasons. I'm white washed so I feel more comfortable around white people (doesn't help that the city/town I live in is 80% white) Last time I went to Pakistan was in 2002 and I don't recall feeling "welcomed" by people other than my family.

Yes, and the opposite around white people. I'm not complaining I've accepted this psychology a long time ago.

Yup, I'm Japanese and when I went to Japan no one cared what I did, even if it was considered slightly 'rude.' (i.e. talking on the phone in the trains.) But if my friend who wasn't Asian did the exact same thing, she'd get death glares from all of the old ladies.

This is a little off, but I am from the south (cracker flavored), and once while I was in Greenwich, Conn I was feeling kind of weird. I couldn't put my finger on it, but one day as I drove around exploring I drove into Stamford. I guess I was on the south western part of town when I started seeing all these black faces. I then realized that I had been working in a town with no black people. I packed my truck and just enjoyed being in a more familiar mix.

"Jew here. I've actually felt quite the opposite way. I was raised in a reform Jewish household. Sometimes I don't feel at home among Jews because I am not afraid to criticize the Israeli government and like to eat shrimp (not kosher). It's almost as if there's some sort fo competition to see who's "Jewish enough." But for that reason I'm more comfortable among people of other faiths and cultures. "

From what I've heard from friends who've travelled around there, everybody feels welcome in arab countries.

Half Chinese, half white. Not white enough to be white, not Chinese enough to be Chinese. So no. Not particularly.
