You should really post your race so we can know if our comments will be welcome.

appearanc doesnt
mean anything when it comes to
friendship, you should share the same
values, thats what makes a true friendship
p.s. im pretty sure your mixed
and do all your friends have the same
exact mix of races as you?

I think this is actually common and a natural behaviour. I live in Australia and all the immigrants from different nations tend to group together a lot, whereas most caucasians seem like they're on some sort of genetic and cultural self destruction mission.

I desire interracial relationships. I have no clue why you would or why you wouldn't, for that matter.

I think it's normal human behavior to want to be around people who are like you, and race is an obvious "alike"-ness that your natural instincts respond to. Especially true if you did grow up around people of different races.

But it's probably for the best if you learn to overcome that tendency. It's not necessarily harmful, but it would be a shame to miss out on a good friendship with a person simply because you never gave it a shot.

(This can be difficult if you live in an area where race roughly equals a particular culture as well. Sooner or later you'll find someone for whom the "culture gap" is not there and it truly is just a difference of skin color.)

typo: "Especially true if you DIDN'T grow up around people of different races."

I think it's normal to gravitate toward people who are like you. Im sort of the same way..though interracial friendships are a great way for us all to learn to respect & understand one another (culturally).

As long as you don't hate them or want to hurt them I don't think it really matters.

that's not a problem to hang with your own race. But if one of your friends starts hanging out with someone outside their race, don't get disappointed because it's not your place to have a say in it.
