Are you talking about race or ethnicity? You mentioned “white”. That’s race. Not ethnicity.

Also race and ethnicity are very fluid concepts. Who determines what? I know very dark blacks who identify as whites because they are of mixed race but don’t like to identity as blacks or “mixed race”. I also know that in many regions Latino population identifies themselves as whites yet in most of the US they identify themselves as Hispanic.

I also wonder if you really are talking about ethnicity or socio economic level? You use juxtaposition of “white middle class” and “not well of folk”. Are you implying that if they aren’t well of, they aren’t white? Almost like you are assigning socio-economic level to certain races. Not sure what you meant

I am white but you asked about ethnicity, not race. My ethnicity is very mixed. I can’t really identify correctly as it’s a blend. I refer to myself as American, even if not native born. If people ask where I am from, I tell them but no one asks my ethnicity and I am not going into it with strangers. I do look white but it’s neither here nor there. I am middle class but I was below poverty line at some point so I saw t on a sliding scale.

As about who goes to therapy I know ton of people (some on personal level but most due to my line of work and some I just see in a waiting room of the clinic) of different races and ethnicities and socio economic levels who are in therapy. So it’s not limited to white middle class. Those who can’t afford it out of pocket use their health insurance, government provided health care or sliding scale.
