I attended grade school at a small Catholic school in the US midwest - everyone i knew was either of Irish, French, Italian, Polish, or German descent. Until I was about 8 years old, I assumed all people in America were of these ethinicities. Even people who were other races: which makes sense because the few students of color at my school had surnames that were Irish, French, etc.
