I think a lot of people won't touch this subject; I will! I recently came across an artical that said that babies are instinctivly drawn towards attractive fit people and that it has everything to do with health and vitality rather than race. I can't say I know what it's like to be a minority either, I am white and where I am from is prodominantly however I am attracted to Asian men and my daughter is half Chinese. I think it is totally normal and human nature to want to assimilate with ones peers. I think in some cases race matters most in a state of how you feel about your envirnment rather than what that envirnment actually is. Perhaps it is the quality of people rather than actual race/s that has you questioning this? There are lots of great multicultural communities you might well thrive in but perhaps you havent got to yet experience. I find that it is easy to associate how you feel about people with the area/s you associate them with so maybe get out and experience the world when you get a chance and see. It's ok to have prefferences but those prefferences should not be the only deciding factor in creating friendships. You don't want to miss out on lots of great friends out of fear! Give yourself and time a chance and you will do great, it's ok to have doubt, just don't let it rule your world. :) -A.
Is it normal to want to be around other white people?
