I can't speak for the OP, but I'll give my own perspective.
Many of these items are nothing but restatements of "if I want to stick to my own (racial) kind, it helps to be in the majority." Since I have no particular desire to stick to my own (racial) kind, I'm fine with them not being true.
Of the remainder, I assert they are not a big deal. In a few days I'm travelling from a location where they are true (UK) to a location where they are not (India) and it was not a significant factor in my decision. I've devoted far more thought to things like the the weather, consistent running water or a gym than I have to anything on this list.
