Black or African-American?

I don't have any black friends, but I do'nt particularly care that I do'nt have any black friends. I don't have any Canadian friends either. Nor Arabic.

I have very few friends (less than a dozen, I'd say) but I've accumulated them randomly and they are what they are.

When I first started this reply I actually began with "all my friends are white as well" but then I realized "no...Lani's Asian." And then, "no...Shannon's Puerto Rican." and then "no...Kevin's Pacific Islander (Hawaiian)" and "of course, Paola's Mexican" and so on. While none are black, my circle of friends is actually pretty diverse but their race is so far down the list of relevant characteristics I don't think I'd ever noticed before just how diverse it is.

What categories go into having a properly diverse circle of friends. Is Stas, my guy from from Russia diverse or just white?
