could it be because they knew each other?
no having worked with my friend for 5 years now we go to different parts of the United states quite often enough, its not just him though I have seen it quite a bit I was using that as an example that it was natural to seek out people of like skin tone I have seen it all the time on every occasion it is the same no matter who I am with or where I go.
I'm not sure if you can base a theory only off of one's personal anecdotes. I would guess that sometimes people do seek out their "own" maybe because of the fear of rejection from someone of another race.
I'm young and I live in Southern California, so amongst my peers it's almost not even an issue. I think it's generational.
you could be right although since I am basing it on my personel experience. I tend to look at how people react to one another. but for my experience even in large groups people do tend to herd together according to skin tone. I do work with alot of young people of all nationalities 18-26 age range from all over the United states, but this race thing that I see is usually media driven and from what I see stirs the pot and gets people angry/upset I do think the media does this on purpose as a means for ratings like almost everything they do, politicians are using it now to fuel their bases. I wish both parties would stop it, some people are idiots why give the idiots the media time? but alot of those idiots are pundits stiring the pot. The people I work with are all fine and we go get the job done. race is never an issue unless it is in the news even then it is usually just joked about.
