how is it a "strange" question

have you seen the amount of dumb shit that gets posted here on the regular

how much of that do you think can be attributed to people having never had any meaningful interactions/relationships with those who don't look like themselves

Yeah, if people actually interacted more with different people then they would most likely let go of their negative stereotypes

Yes, but I'm mixed so it's hard not to make friends of different races

This question may as well be "do you live in America?"

Who the fuck doesn't In 2020?

I mean sure if you live in Japan or Vietnam I get it but you cant walk down the street in the US without tripping over 7 people of different races

You'd only not have any friends outside your race if you did so on purpose like a creep

Depends where you live. I think most of New England was 90%+ white in the 2010 census. Then there are some southern states that are pretty close to 50/50.

It doesn't really matter what the composition of your state is, most people live near people who look like themselves and proximity creates friendships. Despite unfairs intuitions it's not super common for people to have close friends outside their race. Like how few people marry outside their race

Among white Americans, 91% of people comprising their social networks are also white, while five percent are identified as some other race. Among black Americans, 83% of people in their social networks are composed of people who are also black, while eight percent are white and six percent are some other race. Among Hispanic Americans, approximately two-thirds (64%) of the people who comprise their core social networks are also Hispanic, while nearly 1-in-5 (19%) are white and nine percent are some other race.

Fully three-quarters (75%) of white Americans report that the network of people with whom they discuss important matters is entirely white, with no minority presence, while 15% report having a more racially mixed social network. Approximately two-thirds (65%) of black Americans report having a core social network that is composed entirely of people who are also black, while nearly one-quarter (23%) say their network includes a mix of people from other racial and ethnic backgrounds. Less than half (46%) of Hispanics report that their social network includes only other people who also identify as Hispanic, while more than one-third (34%) report having a mixed social network. Notably, nearly one-in-ten (9%) Hispanics report having an all-white core social network.

No, not "close" friends like described in the OP. But then I don't have any friends who know me that closely.

I have casual friends of multiple different races though, and my wife is half black so there's that

I actually have no friends that are the same race as me now. I don't just mean because I live in another country, but the friends I stay in touch with back home who have visited me are also a different race. It doesn't really matter to me though, it never factored into why we are friends.
