What's weird here is that I'm of European extraction. I'm white. And I am not at all threatened by a group of people for whatever reason gathering peacefully in a public space and asking that they not be disturbed.
I'm of European extraction also. (Mostly British with a soupcon of German, if anyone cares.) I'm so white I'm practically transparent, and this doesn't make me feel threatened either.
Different strokes for different (white) folks, I guess!
