Western is a lot more diverse than most people would have you believe. 55% white, 30% East Asian, 14% brown, 1% black is probably about right. Among 1000 white people, you'd probably find about 250 brown people. I don't think you need to be concerned. For the most part, groups tend to be single-race, but you will find quite a few mixed race groups too. My group consisted of five whites, two Asians; one half-Asian, half-white; two browns, and one black guy. Mixed race for sure, but culturally we were all white.

Care to explain? I mean, if you put a lot of faith in my guessed demographic breakdowns, and want a "most likely" number of brown people alongside 1000 white people (not just a "probably about"), then you'll most likely find 254.545454 brown people among 1000 white people.
