I do not mean this question to be offensive in any way. I am simply pondering my own observation.
The company I work for, in my estimation, is 85% white, 5% Asian, 5% black and 5% other. Everyone is very cordial to one another, but it seems that there is always a table of all black people in the cafeteria. I often see a table with 5 or 6 white people and 1 or 2 black people, but never see a table with 5 or 6 black people and 1 or 2 white people. Why is that?
It also seems that when a new black person starts working here, all of the other black people will talk to that person, but if a new white person starts working here, none of the black people make any special effort to talk to them. What is the reason for this?
Again, I apologize if I have offended anyone. This is only the way it SEEMS to me, and I do not claim this to be absolute fact, only my own observation.
