How Many Friends do You Have That Are Not Your Own Race?

[mudwhistle]

Is that all you read? Blacks? Are they the only non-whites? Really?
You're projecting into the question, try again.

No....as I posted earlier....I was thinking about all races.....but I don't like repeating myself, and I also believe in brevity....
Besides.....*black friends* is code for virtue-signalling.

That's called projecting........

No....projecting would be telling someone that they are guilty of a crime I myself is guilty of.

No....the physiological term is being a realist.

Nope......I'm just a realist.

How Many Friends do You Have That Are Not Your Own Race? .

Well, given that I'm some from Column A and some from Column B...

.... all of them.


.

Well one mutt to another; you just filll in all the boxes and your good to go, lol.

 

[baileyn45]

If you take the time to classify your friends, you are warped, and probably don't know what a real friend is.

 

[deanrd]

I live in Chicago.
So black, white, Hispanic, Asian, American Indian

 

[Bob Blaylock]

The vast majority of my friends are the same race that I am—Human.

 

[Preacher]

This old US News article is interesting. It says that 40% of white Americans, 25% of blacks and 10% of Hispanics (yes, Hispanics are not a race, but it is in the freaking report) do not have friends of a different race.

This led to a discussion with the wife and she pointed out that many people are more restrictive by what they mean when they say friend, so perhaps a better question would be how many people do you like to interact with socially who are of a different race? I asked her if Face Book friends count, and she said if you spend a lot of time interacting with them or not.

Then we realized how many people we interact with in games and discussion groups that are racially unknown. When she plays LOTRO she has no idea what the persons race is and racial disagreements never come out. (Hmm, wonder if there is something to that?)

Then I thought what about here? How many people do I like talking to here on USMB are not white?

So I decided to do a poll, and ask people what race they SELF IDENTIFY as. Sure you can lie if you want, but I am trying to make this as generic and multiple faceted as possible.

The choices start with what most people think you are racially and what you think you really are to be more precise.

Of course if you dont want to answer, dont it is no big deal, but I am wondering how much easier it is to get along with people when I dont know their race vrs when I do, but then again, I have never asked people what their races are until now.

I am white and have ZERO nonwhite friends,I don't want nonwhite friends PERIOD. I have a very small group of friends I know in person and another smaller group on social media...not a real social person...Most people regardless of race annoy me with their lack of common sense for the most basic issues and I just don't feel like educating people.

I don't have friends--I'm not appetizing to look at

Anyone worth having as a friend should not want to ear you.

 

[skye]

I am also totally color blind when it comes to people being nice and funny and all that! Funny most of all, love that!

But I do not like extremists or fundamentalists in religion or that sort of crazy people whatever their race or color .No.
