I have encounter many situations whereby I go into a dinner party of strangers because it is a social gathering of strangers for a benefit. I notice that, it is often me (asian guy) going to make the first contact with other ethnic groups to small talk. When I am by myself standing with a glass of wine, just waiting and observing the room, only other asians will initiate to come talk to me, even if we never met. But never has been the occasion whereby a white man or woman would approace me for small talk. The only time when a white person will come to talk with me is when they need something from me. I think this show many things about white people, they show themselves as being phobic outside of their white racist ways. Or they may be afraid that by talking outside of their white group, they may be seen as polluting their image, so they will never talk to us colored people. FYI, I think white people are the insecure types, needing to protect their "image" over substance.
