huh, just realized I'd probably assume that too.

Which made me think because around where I live white is kinda the default around where I live (and I live in a big, european city). We have a lot of turkish people around here and some arabs as well as a lot of asian people, there are black people too but really not so many.

The turkish, arabic and asian people that I personally know all have foreign names. And everyone who has names like David, Lisa etc. was either white or tanned so I suppose that's probably why for me not-foreign names (for the lack of a better word) always mean the person is white/tanned.

Not that that makes it any better to always imagine white as a default but not everyone is deliberately racist.

I grew up in an area that is ~70% Asian. Most of Asian people are immigrants of kids of immigrants. Most of them also take an "American" name to call themselves by/just plain have an "American" name. I've met countless Asian; Marys, Amandas, Cindys, Vincents, Stephens, ect. So, I think it depends on the area really. And people who are mixed have a good chance of having an "American" last name.
