Friends of a different ethnicity?

Do you have many friends of a different race or ethnicity? If not, why not?

I don't have many friends of any race. I'm not good at making friends.

Good grief what a loaded question

Same here.

I can say I've HAD friends of virtually every ethnicity at some point, but these days I'm largely a recluse and have no one who is the kind of "friend" that I'd hang out with on a regular basis. I do have neighbors though, some of whom are friends in the sense that we talk and get along well. One of my newer neighbors is Egyptian (as his ethnic ancestry) so we joke that he is my African-American friend! (Hey, he may pass as Hispanic, Italian, Greek, Arabic, Persian or just a dark-haired white guy, but the fact that he is African-American is true!)

Ethnicity? Phew. I have a friend of a different species, @Swan.

All my friends are off-beat old white ladies. You wanna make something of it?

Last I checked, I believe all of my friends belong to the human race.

I'll let you know if/when that changes!

Sort of? I mean... there are like three people in my real life that I would genuinely consider my friends. Two of them are white. The other one is half white and half Taiwanese. I'm half white and half Japanese.

I’m friends with anyone regardless of race, ethnicity, etc. Always have been.

This right here

I am getting ever more asocial the older I get. Am way past trying to fix it.

You've made friends easily here.

Ah yes, THIS is what I came to a movie forum to discuss!

I have indeed, yes! A huge part of what I love about this place. I think I should have qualified my statement with ‘in-person’. I am a massive introvert and I get along with people much better when it’s over email/chat/text/on forums. I did have my breathing problems and I think it has conditioned me to dislike speaking, building in-person connection, the lot. I get self-conscious and shy and utterly lost.

Ironic as I’m quite good at all manner of ‘sales’.

I do keep trying though and sometimes it works.

Making friends should just happen naturally. Cultivating acquaintances for racial or ethnic reasons is phony.

Not at all. Otherwise I’d be stuck talking only to my fellow Brits.

All my close friends are white, and that's simply because where I use to live where I made all my close friends was in the far North of England and the area is around 98% white.
