I don't seek out friends based on race, but rather common interests. So it might be a good idea to speak for yourself rather than make sweeping generalizations.

Lol, I sound like a racist? That's hilarious. I love the "whomever smelt it dealt it" defense.

And no, we have people of every ethnicity pretty much just living in my apartment building, and we all get along perfectly. We don't all "seek out our own". I consider people who "seek out their own" to be at least prejudiced. As they will purposely avoid people who are different, because of their differences. If people are going to "seek out their own", it's a lot better in my mind if they do it by economic class rather than by ethnicity/race. That's the thing. My building is expensive for the area, so everyone here is middle to upper middle class. That's how I see them, not by them being white or black or Asian or hindu etc etc

I stated a fact. Most people of every race prefer to live around their people. They prefer to be led by one of their own. They go to church and other functions with mostly people of their own race. Most marry within their own race. Those aren’t my sweeping generalizations. They are simply facts. That shouldn’t bother you just as it shouldn’t bother them that some people don’t prefer to be mostly around those of their own race.

I disagree with you. As was already stated in this thread, most people choose where to live on on the basis of economic class and education. I would choose a mixed neighborhood of mostly college graduates before I would live in a run down area or trailer park occupied solely by white folk. It doesn't bother me at all that you want to live in whiteyville, it just surprises me because well, it's something that hasn't been a big deal for most people since the 50's.

Interracial relationships and marriages are on the rise, blows a hole through one of your points. I'm in an interracial relationship myself

Maybe th Left wasn't so full of hatred, and so divisive, and didn't weaponize "diversity" at every chance they got and condemned all "old white men" (all Anglos) as bad, you people wouldn't receive so much resistance.



You made this bed...now deal with the consequences of the hatred the Left has sewed and sleep in it.

My point being "wanting to associate with your own" means you see people not of your race/ethnicity as different, which is the definition of prejudice. People are people to me, and it should be like that for everyone ideally
Yes it is. Put 100 people who don't know each other in a cafeteria and see how they distribute themselves.

I don't think you can predict that unless you know more about the cafeteria and where it is. My guess is that people in the Google or Apple employee cafeteria would distribute themselves differently than at a Golden Corral in Alabama.

It's the truth. The Left is the most viscous, hate-filled side of scoundrels this country has ever known.
