Racial minority groups in the U.S. find it very unsettling when white people demonstrate racial consciousness. If white people begin to see themselves as a homogenous ethnic and cultural group the way that Jews, American blacks and Mexicans do, the fear is that whites will re-awaken their largely dormant racist feelings. In a society that has become as multicultural and ethnically diverse as the modern United States, any such resurgence of white racial animosity towards minority groups would obviously have the potential to be enormously disruptive to the status quo.

This is the reason that white racial identity is essentially a taboo in American culture, while racial minority groups are encouraged to identify ethnically and form support networks base on their racial background.

The idea is that white people do not need any ethnic or racial solidarity, because they are already the dominant racial group in the country, while other ethnic groups, having smaller numbers and being more vulnerable to discrimination from the white majority have the necessity of falling back on racial and ethnic support.

The fear of white racial consciousness by minority groups is somewhat understandable given the history of the past century and further back into the slave era (After all, the last time a white nation became animated with racial consciousness it took practically the entirety of Europe as well as two superpowers to put them down).

However, just because it is understandable doesn't mean whites will tolerate it forever. I predict the next few decades will see a resurgence of white racial consciousness, as more whites in both the U.S. and Europe wake up to the realization that they are being displaced from their own country by fast-breeding immigrants. When that happens, you'll have decades' worth of simmering racial resentment boiling over all at once. It won't be pretty.
