Default How Many Of Your Friends Are A Different Race?

Something I have noticed on here, and IRL, is people making comments about different races or religions and starting their rant with "I'm not racist...some of my best friends are black/ muslim/ eskimo..."

I live in an area where most people are white and know very few people who are not (neighbours who we only know to say good morning to and that's about it).
OH has just confirmed that all of his friends and work colleagues are British, white, non-religious types, apart from one guy from Malta.

Do you mix with people other than your own race/ religion/ culture?

I don't even like mixing with wimmins, let alone foreigners I don't care where anyone comes from, what church they choose, or what colour their skin is, I just don't like most people and they usually don't like me !

maybe it's more a culture thing.

the government trys to mix everyone up and say about mixing cultures... bottom line is people stick to their own.


I went to skool with a few Black and Asian people, a coupke of Chinese.
Got a few on Face Book i went to school with.

but in general I can't say I have close friends I see regular that are from different races.

oh... my best man at my wedding is Catholic (he didn't seem to mind gong into a C of E church)... but i don't hold that against him.

None.

All my mates are White.
None of my mates smoke.
None of my mate are religious either.

Not through any choice all the above, just happens to be as it is.

PS.
And were all handsome with big *****.

Thats because the money he earns is worth a hell of a lot more when he sends it back to Polski. And also he will be claiming family tax credit for his kids back home that is paid at over three times more than what the Polish government pay, oh and he will be claiming the Polish equivalent of family tax credit in Poland also.
When he eventually returns to Poland he will pay cash for the biggest house he can find.

in his words. if you lived in a **** hole with no good jobs wouldn't you try and get money for your family anyway you could.plus he has no kids here or back in Polski and isn't married.even if he did i wouldn't blame him.
and when he goes back to this big new house. i'll have somewhere to stay near krakow cheaper than a hotel

I can't say I have ever knocked anyones teeth out, but I am known for having a bit of a temper when provoked.
