America is a very big place, and incredibly diverse. This diversity expands to being both very diverse in places and completely mono-cultural in others. Some areas are heavily black, some areas are heavily Hispanic, some are enclaves of immigrants from any number of other places, and some are almost completely lily-white.
Anecdotally, growing up, there were a half-dozen Hispanic kids (who were my cousins, as my great-uncle had married in Arizona when he was in the Army), one (adopted) black child, and one other (adopted) Indian child. That was the sum total of the ethnic diversity in the entire thousand-person school district in one backwards corner of Maine. We had to rib on the French-Canadians and fall back on home-town stereotypes... There were actually more Asians around, because the Boston Chinese food restaurant cartels/mafia expanded northward. I never met anyone who was Jewish until I went to college.
