My friends and I are looked at funny when we walk down the hall together because we're a mixed group of persons and we're very touchy, very close, very relaxed with each other, and persons think that we are each betraying our own race by hanging out with one another. It's not pretty. As we were all white and similar looking, ethnic minorities blend in. Yugoslavia Our school unconsciously segregates itself. I come from a predominantly white state.
People make up cliques from their childhood friends and people with the same likes and dislikes.
The African-Americans at our school, all except maybe two per class, were born and raised elsewhere and lived on the airbase. The kids from the base are much more cultured and think differently. In my university I was very shocked when I noticed that blacks and whites do not spend time together at all. I feel like blacks are saying to themselves that white people just don't understand and white people are saying that black people don't want us to understand. I am one of four blacks in my school.
