This is going off on a tangent, but a manhua series that might fall under what you're looking for is Ravages of Time, which is a massive retelling of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, with Sima Yi as protagonist.
I wonder if your supernatural manhwa counts might not be an underestimate because I've found that the folklore-based stories tend to not get scanlated as often, probably because the words are harder to translate. (By the way, Dokebi Bride might be up your alley if you haven't come across it already.) Also, you can't discount the fact that a lot of the current manhwa scene is dominated by webcomics at the moment. I think these are slowly starting to find their way into scanlations. If you don't mind looking at an untranslated series, Miho's Story is about the gumiho (for some reason, gumiho have been popular this year) and is beautifully drawn to boot.
ETA: Also, I can't comment on the Cultural Revolution and its effects, but I think you're right about the reasons for white U.S.ians being unaware of living in a white culture.
