I recently moved to Morrisville from New Jersey where I've been living and working for many years and started my new job in one of the large IT hardware companies in RTP as an engineer. I'd say I enjoy almost everything here - my new apartment and community, the clean and quite suburban living, the weather, the new challenging and well-paid job, the supportive coworkers and boss, etc. - almost everything only except for one thing: I have no friends here. I have no one to talk to, to hang out with, to have on a trip together at weekends.
I won't say I'm an extravert or a social guy, but I did have some friends before moving here, and everyone, however introvert they are, always needs friends. I like basketball, wakeboard, wall-climbing, boating, tasting new food, trying diff restaurant, and traveling to explore new culture and landscape. I understand there might rarely be Chinese visiting this forum but I've got to reach out proactively. If you are Chinese living in the same area, please email me at xiyaocorner[at]yahoo.com. My treat to have a Starbucks!
I mean I figured you were Chinese, you're just really limiting your options that's all.
Eh I think it’s pretty natural for people to seek people like them whenever they move to an area just to find something familiar that they can latch onto while they adjust.

Yeah that’s fine I totally get it. As long as we recognize the double standard.

Well it's a lot easier to find friends of certain ethnicities/races than others.........go anywhere in this country and you'll find ample choices out of several groups if you're lucky to be in that category
And it's not just race-related, it's definitely culture-related as well. Try as hard as they will, I can't speak Chinese with my white/black/non-Chinese friends here and there are just some cultural things that they will never understand or honestly really care about so I can understand why someone would prefer friends from the same culture so that they can share those life aspects with.

Yes, Korean, but definitely a Chinese attraction. Meet People!
Both are popular venues.

I understand the double standard, but I am the one that would still look weird if I say, "Hey, I just moved to the Triangle and looking for some white friends to hang out with. Please PM me."
Because the majority of the country is still white. There are white people everywhere. If you need help finding white friends, then you got a problem.
