I think it comes down to, 'do you want white friends' obivously if your not willing to even accept a white person as 'being on your level' then you will never make real friends with them. Its not really a bad thing actually - first i was thinking all these people who are saying they dont like making deeper connections with people of a different race are stupid, but then again its not like theres a shortage of afican/carribean people so go for it.
But really guys from experiance i dont think colour/race has anything to do with how you connect with someone- it may limit your disscussions on being 'black' but thats about it!
