And I've recently been wondering why, despite having 50 or so active friend and acquaintenships .... everyone I know is white. There's an Asian or two in there. Lots of straights and gays mixed. But no blacks. No Latinos. No Middle Easterners.
Is it a matter of staying among my own kind? Or is it simply that only whites (and a spattering of Asians) have been drawn to Disneyland, The Renaisance Faire, Rocky Horror and Star Wars?
I live in a city that's the melting pot of the modern world. But no melting is ever going to go on if people raised in differing cultures have zero common interests.
Interestingly, if I'd been a normal guy into sports - - I might have more interracial friends. But perhaps a lack of gay pals.
Sorry, I know this is not really the topic at hand, but it's been on my mind of late ... and this is the LoT thread where I can squeeze it in most plausibly.
