Do you have many friends who are a different race than you?

Pretty self-explanatory.

Yes, but I'm not white, so...

(Anonymous) 2016-03-17 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
no, but I only have like three friends and one of them is Indian so, percentage-wise, I guess a large amount of my friend group is a different race than I am

Yes. I grew up in SC so half of my school peers in school and college were black (not many other races thought). Also, one of my dad's closest friends is black so we used to go to his bike club parties (his bike club only had black members) so I had several friends from those parties too.

Same. I'm not very social now, but I grew up in SC and had lots of black friends in high school and college because they were the people I had extracurricular activities and shared interests with.

Tough to answer. Would you call for example someone from the Philippines a different race from someone from Japan even though white people say they're all Asian-Pacific? Would you call a black person who grew up in Detroit a different race from someone who grew up in Brazil and identifies as Afro-Latino?

If I'm Chinese and have friends who are Indian, Malaysian, Samoan... are they a different race from me? Or are we all "Asian" even though none of us look remotely alike?

Re: Do you have many friends who are a different race than you?

(Anonymous) 2016-03-17 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know any white people who'd say Filipino and Japanese are the same race.

The categories of races differ according to countries, so probably OP means whatever race means for you where you're from? At least I hope that's what they mean and not the Western-centric view that race is split split into white/black/others or something.

Yep. What about other nationalities though? Because I'm Malay and I have Indian and Chinese friends, and those three are the main races in Malaysia. But now I'm in the UK I also have white friends, Arab friends, etc. (well ... sort of lmao)

Yeah, most of them I met through a high school buddy who's African-American. I used to be fb friends with a Japanese-American girl who happened to be dating a close friend of mine but once their relationship started to burn down spectacularly and [J-A friend] started treating my close friend like utter shit that pretty much put the kibosh on me giving her the time of day.

Later she ended up blocking everyone she was fb friends with who she thought was "too white." This includes a mutual friend who is Hispanic. I should note that [J-A girl] is technically 3/4ths white. Hispanic friend was less white than her -- but still "too white."

I dunno, Gundam fandom on tumblr does weird things to people I guess.

None (I'm not counting people I know on the Internet). My city was pretty much 100% white when I grew up and that hasn't changed much. It's still pretty rare to meet anyone of different race, and I'm not going to go to the pizza place or Chinese restaurant to make friends.

Yes.

For a while I was pretty much the token white in my friend group.

Got significantly whiter in the last few years unfortunately due to revolving more around work.

Yes. Because I'm mixed race, my family is even more mixed race and I work in a multicultural environment.

Yup.

If you count my entire social circle excluding family members (but including people who aren't really friends and I don't speak to regularly) I have more white than non-white friends by a fairly small margin.

If you only count friends I speak to regularly I have more non-white than white friends.

My friends relatively accurately match the demographics of where I live: tons of white and Hispanic people, then a sizeable Asian subset (mostly Filipino, Korean, and various south-east Asian descent here), then a smattering of black people and other races.

I also went to a Catholic school, so the black families that do live in this neighborhood and want a religious education for their kids tend to send them to the Baptist school or the Episcopal school. Black Catholics are pretty uncommon. But that school in particular is why I have so many Filipino friends. (Every school here has a Hispanic/white majority.)

No, but I live in a part of Europe where there aren't a lot of non-Europeans.

well i don't have any friends right now but over the course of my life, yeah, my friends were a mixed bag racially.

A fair number. I guess I haven't really counted, but yeah.
