do you tend to avoid talking to people outside your race?

Question

i do, especially if they are females. i hang out with only whites and eurasians. but it's not that i'm a racist. i think it's a fear of facing differences, making mistakes and so on. in my opinion, peple try to hang on to their comfort zones. what do you think?

Answer 1

I feel comfortable among any respectable human being.I have friends of different races not just my own.

Answer 2

I think you are right . Most people as far as I have seen, have a comfort zone, and they prefer to stay close to what they know. We all wish to connect with people who share our common interests. Fear of the unknown, and making a mistake in front of a stranger can be worrisome. Not everyone is going to judge you negatively if you show a willingness to listen as people talk with you, and if they will do the same for you , it may only be a matter of time before you may find that they have had some of the same worries that you have had. It can be an enjoyable experience to learn about other ways of living if both parties keep an open mind.
I'm willing to talk with almost anyone who is intelligent , has a positive attitude and can accept a persons right to have a different outlook in life even when they don't agree.

Answer 3

There is a disturbing polarity where I live; most people hang out with their own race exclusively, you are certainly not alone. I prefer a place where cultures mix. I think it fosters understanding and the fusion of ideas.

What you have to ask yourself is, "Why does my comfort zone only include whites and eurasians?"

I've noticed, in myself, that I steer clear of many African males because I find them overly sexually aggressive, but I also keep my distance from any man who behaves this way. Furthermore, I don't prejudge that an African man will treat me this way simply because he is African. I have male, African friends. The thing that is outside of my comfort zone is the attitude towards women and not the colour of the skin.

Orientals seem a little odd to me. We see the world and relate to it in very different ways. I can't seem to bridge that gap very often. I've only ever had one oriental friend. We had both left our lovers behind to go to art school so we had a little common ground to build upon. I think we both felt somewhat like outcasts as well. (I get on very well with outcasts.)

What I'm getting at is that there are cultural differences and some of those may not appeal, but it should have very little to do with race. Everyone is an individual.

Answer 4

People definitely do try to hang out with people (And do things) that keep them in their comfort zones, but the interpretation of that comfort zone is always going to be dfferent, and not everyone is going to see a difference that may exist as being out of the comfort zone.

Racial equality is something that's been preached in my home since I was younger. I've never had trouble getting a long with, dating, and being respectful towards people of other races. It's a concept I promote and advocate that everyone abide by, because race truly doesn't matter.

There's some other criteria that I took a personal goal at being more in tune with, and through my "Conditioning," they are also things that for the most part: I also stay in my comfort zone. Those are people of different sizes, and people with different sexual preferences. I consider them equals.

I tend to avoid people within my racial groups that demand that I don't talk to people of other races. ^_^ :P

(That doesn't mean I think you are racist or anything [Because you aren't]. You aren't imposing anything on me: It's just your personal preference to converse and interact with people of your race most of time, and that's perfectly fine in itself.)

Answer 5

I think you are living in a closet and probably live in a farmers town and with your attitude wont amount to much in your life because the world is multicultural and so you are going to look like a twit saying I can only talk to whites and eurasians. You look like a real redneck with this attitude. This attitude makes you look not too intelligent if you want to get anywhere in life.

Answer 6

I hang out with anyone who is weird and random, and is unique and doesn't care what people think of them. I also hang out with people who have confidence and are nice, yet really outgoing. You can actually find this in every race so it's cool. Unfortunately I don' t have friends so I don't get to really experience this.

Answer 7

Nope - although I do tend to avoid interacting with people who are outside my socio-economic level.

This might be mistaken for avoiding other races simply because - sadly - most of the poor, uneducated people in my town are black or hispanic, and fewer of the well-educated middle class people are.

Answer 8

yeah u kind of are afraid that you might say something offensive and also in a conversation you dont follow the same mindframe. but i mean sometimes it isn't like that at all. the main thing holding you back is the fear, but in actuality, everybody is human and the same.

Answer 9

i am white married to black so clearly i dont share your feelings, but its good to see that you are making an effort to try and understand why you feel that way. give it a chance and you will be surprised as to how much people of different races can teach you and show you.
