Hi:

The whiteness literature, as you probably know, is American and the focus usually in on
white/black distinctions. I have not seen many examples stressing white identity based
on 
'not being Native,' but it is an interesting point. Can't think of many legal barriers
to blacks buying and drinking alcohol, but there were informal barriers (such as
denail or service in bars, exclusion from clubs, etc).
