I can't think of a single race I don't have a friend of.

Maybe some isolated aboriginal tribe?

Yes I do. It has been this way for me since childhood. It remains this way today.

I'm a total freakin rock star from Mars, so all of my friends on this planet are, by default of different races.

Yes, my family is also a mix of Korean, black, Irish white and native American Indian. My parents are white/Korean. Sibs married different and the extended family is a mini melting pot. It would be odd to have only one group here.

But, I must state when I go back to Korea to visit family it's not that often that you see a mixed group of friends unless they are all foreign. Otherwise, all the same. America is unique this way.

Have always had friends of different races, despite growing up in a largely white small town. There were a few blacks in my hometown. My Father's business partner was one of them.

Race really isn't a big deal. Its culture that really separates us.
This^^^is a great post. I agree.

I have made friends of people of different races over my entire life - any race (however many "they" say there are now.) My experience has been that they haven't been permanent friendships.


I suppose that's not unusual or I would still be in touch with every friend I ever made and that would be a lot of people. In my life experience most of the people of other races have been transient, both in location and sentiment.
