I wonder what white people think about me hanging out more with, greeting, and making friends with minorities than with them.
Are we sell outs?

To be honest I don't think anyone gives a crap.
Not everyone is so self centered as to think that mankind stops to actually give two sh1tes about who we make friends with.

I don't know what you look like, but I'm sure when I'm hanging out with other minorities, white people don't notice because most of them consider me a minority too. I don't know what you mean by "sell-out"... Are you still in highschool? That's the only place I ever saw kids form groups based on race. |

The Internet's a lot different from a school ground or prison yard (I wouldn't know for sure about jail) in my mind though. I guess because I don't really use it very much. For me elementary school and university were full of super multi-cultured groups, but it was highschool where all these groups split off into the filipinos,east indians, chinese and white kids. And people would talk when people crossed lines. It was quite sad.  |

In my case, my whiteness is apparent that it covers my Asianness completely.

Are you still in highschool? That's the only place I ever saw kids form groups based on race. I see it everywhere. Every university, every office, every restaurant, in the military...everywhere. People always tend to gravitate towards those with things they have in common. I think it's an instinctive herd mentality from our caveman days. People self-segregate and thereby magnify their differences with each other. And yet they always ask: why all the racism? It might be an issue more to do with culture than race--though I understand where you're coming from. As you say, people stick together with those they share things in common with--which isn't negative in and of itself. Of course, it'd be ideal if people were embracive of all cultures, but in reality, when you are so steeped in one, it is hard to feel at ease in another. |
