This thread actually makes you think about the racial situation in the UK deeply. I went to a primary school which was mostly white and a high school about 70% white. Lived in an area of mostly asians and thinking hard I can't remember ever having a real white friend.

I mean yeah there are people I nod to and say hello, people I work with and catch jokes while there, people who found me on facebook and are all of a sudden "friends" lol but not really. Not in my circle. Not white friends whose phone numbers I have and who I check for like that.

Even those of my friends who went wayward and found love on the other side, I see their white partners as mere extensions of them as opposed to being the fully fleged intergrated part of a wider circle my friends black girlfriends/wives are. I can go to certain mans house and his girl will be there and I can eat her food and play with their kids and chill and just relax. I don't even visit my friends with white girls. Not because I dissapprove, but I feel uncomfortable and not as "at home". yagetme

I have just a few close brothers and a wider circle of possibly 100 friends/spars who I can jam with and go to weddings, call on the phone etc. None of them white though.

That isn't through conscious design, nothing like "I hate those folks" came into that... it just happens that way. It might be changing with the younger generation though. When I was coming up whites had their culture and their scene and we had ours. There was an actual cultural divide to cross. The white folk I went to school with were proper cockney and all of that. Now everybody and their mama is "urban". They all speak the same, listen to the same ish, go to the same places and hang out together. It's different I guess.
