Are most of the a-holes you deal with at work white?

I've worked in many very diverse places, and the American minorities as well as immigrants tend to be quite nice people. The ones yelling and being a-holes are almost invariably white, even when whites are like only 10% of the workforce at a place. Why is it like this? Is there a major problem with white culture? Is it the Protestant ethic? By the way, this is not intended to inflame racial tension. This post merely broaches a serious issue that others who've worked in diverse places have probably noticed too. And also, I am white, mainly, though also part Asian. But I look white to most Americans, although Europeans can often detect Asian features in my face and can tell that I am mixed.
