I have many white friends (as well as friends of other races), mostly the result of having attended predominantly white schools. Thus, I have had many opportunities to spend time with and befriend people of other races. However, I have heard other young black people, particularly those who attended predominantly black schools (and therefore grew up almost entirely with other black people), say that they do not go out of their way to make friends with white people because they assume they do not have much in common with them. That is, they assume white people have different backgrounds and upbringings, prefer different music, hobbies, TV shows, movies, clothes, foods, books, causes and so forth, and therefore they would have nothing to talk about, and neither would understand where the other was ‘coming from.’ Whether this is a correct assumption is a different conversation.
