I assume that the question is supposed to be 'What were white people like during the Great Depression? If that is the case, I'm afraid there is not single answer. "White people" in the 30's would be a very different breed that what people would think of as 'White' today. In 2011, most people of Irish Catholic decent would consider themselves white , this was not the case during the early 1900's. Are Italians 'White'? What about Greeks, Turks, Jews? A 'white' person in the 30's could have fallen into any number of economic categories. All the jobs that Americans won't do, like being a maid or a migrant worker, well white Americans used to do those jobs. The average white person during the depression did the same thing as the average person did, anything to survive.
