It is not like we go out searching for different people either, but I think when you are open, others sense your open, and see there will be no hang-ups.
You live in California. Your state is a sinking-ship. Economically in the red every year because of diversity. White Flight at tremendous levels. Poor pitiful schools because of diversity. Authoritarian government because of a diverse population that votes in authoritarian candidates.

Yep, "ain't diversity grand".

Precisely why we left California (San Diego) in 1993, and my wife is a San Diego native! That state has been ruined by all the illegals and asians that have come and refuse to become Americans, but they set up their "little Sigon" communities and live like they did in their old countries.

We had drive-by shootings and gang violence, etc. in those formerly beautiful and peaceful Southern CA communities.

I'm white, and I hate white people. then again, I hate black people. come to think of it, not too fond of the yellows, browns, greens, or reds.

So personally, its just because I'm very comfortable with myself and the culture I grew up in. Me and my wife still get out and about and mix in well with people from all races/backgrounds just because we like to meet people from everywhere. But its just natural for a lot of people to gravitate towards things they are most familiar with. Doesn't make it wrong unless they are gravitating away from other races/ethnicities/culture because they hate it.
For lack of better words at the moment, beautiful post. I respect that.
