Do you socialize with people from other “races”? See Details.

For this Q socialize means have over to your house or go out together in a small group or one on one. It does NOT include being at the same party or being friends only at work or inviting them to your house within a group only because they happen to be part of that group, like a work group or invitation discussing planning for a project.

Race we will use very broadly dividing people into:

-White
-Latin American/Hispanic
-East Asian
-South Asian
-West Asian
-African
-Black

Statistics in the US show a decent percentage of adults don’t socialize with other races and ethnicities, I don’t know the stats in other countries. Children are more likely to have diverse friendships than adults.

I couldn’t readily find the original articles I have seen but an article from 2013 quotes About 40 percent of white Americans and about 25 percent of non-white Americans are surrounded exclusively by friends of their own race, according to an ongoing Reuters/Ipsos poll.

I can search for more info if jellies are interested.

I know quite a few people who talk passionately about diversity, equality, and then when it comes down too it, their tight social circles are not diverse.
