<p>I feel people outside my race sterotype me and don't talk to me unless I initiate talking first.I'm shy so its rare I talk to people first and if I do its usually someone of my race since id probably have more in common. All my guy friends aren't the same race as me but most of my female friends are the same race as me.</p>
<p>I'll be going to college soon and won't live on campus so its already going to be harder to make friends and I hope my race make matters worse.</p>
<p>Also are interracial couples common,not including hook ups\one night stands.</p>
<p>A lot of people are like that. Actually, most people are like that, even if they unintentionally leave you out of their circle. Some people are welcoming and they are friendly towards you once you break the ice. Other people are d0uche b@gs to the bone. And there’s everything in between. Personally, I don’t open up to people until I know they’re genuine. That’s just my experience.</p>
<p>Interracial couples are really rare around here. The most common ones tend to be white males and asian girls. I tried dating a white girl once. She was friendly at first, but then started avoiding me. I was really confused.</p>
<p>I go to a really diverse college with all kinds of people from many different backgrounds. I think making friends is really up to yourself as an individual and your personality, not what color your skin is.</p>
<p>^^gender is kinda hard too but guys usually talk to girls more than a girl might.The only thing to worry about is him wanting to more than friends :\ I like having guy friends since there’s less drama but some stuff you can’t talk about with them.And hearing them make sexual jokes or comments sometimes is uncomortable esp if its about me! </p>
<p>Sometimes its easier to make friends with the minority of the class like you eventhough they may not be the same race or ethnicity you can kinda relate.Like if you have naturally curly hair or came from a certain area or like the same type of clothes\music v.</p>
<p>People are always hesitant to properly interact with someone different than themselves. Skin appearance is just another difference and some people are more or less responsive to it.</p>
<p>Moreover, people in college tend to get into social circles after a while; and when that happens it becomes more difficult for strangers to get any good interaction with these people. Not everyone is like this; and the intensity of this scenario varies per school.</p>
<p>It’s funny, it’s always been the opposite for me. I’m African-American, but like I’ve mentioned in another thread, I’ve grown up in a suburban predominately white Christian school.</p>
<p>I love being Black, and who I am, but for some reason, I’ve always had a difficult time in high school socializing with other guys of my own kind (my high school was literally 98% Black). I talked differently, was driven to school rather than riding the metro, and wasn’t used to the kind of ways they found to entertain themselves.</p>
<p>But anyways, people tend to feel more comfortable with what they know, so don’t take it personally.</p>
