But it's not merely an ethnic difference, it cultural difference of the worst kind.

Culture, race, and ethnicity (and Religion) are all very well tied together. Usually, pick an "ethnic" group, and they share all these things.

I don't know what white Muslims would be. I know plenty of Muslims would be described as white, as a big tent option. Don't ever dare call anyone mixed race. But if we're talking traditional white Christian Americans who converted, I don't think there are enough to be a bloc. Black Muslims might be an ethnicity, since they're more into it and build families around it. But I would not be shocked if any of these felt like the Umma is their ethnicity. Religion is a powerful force. Whatever people seize on as their identify (for a long time -- ignoring the johnny come lately identity stuff), is so.
