Is it racist to not have any black girl/guy in our friend circle?

[Anonymous]

Yes.

No.

Not necessarily. Some places in the world are just very white. If you don't interact with many black people, or other people of color, that's not necessarily your fault. It could just be a side-effect of where you live.

If you're excluding people due to their being black, that would be racist. But most of the time I think it's just due to where people live.

Oh my gosh! Is someone __________________ (fill in adjective) if they do not have at least one _________________________________ (fill in descriptive nationality/racial/whatever criteria) ?

Depends on the reason why.
If you avoid them because of their skin colour, thats racist. If you just haven't met someone that shares an interest with you, thats totally normal.

[IAMNathanael]

Only if you've actively excluded them for that reason. But just looking at a group of friends, I wouldn't assume that

[QuietRunner]

It might be racist to think that you have to have a black friend

if you purposely exclude them that might be racist

If you just don't social have anything in common, then don't be friends with someone

How is that racist?

You could say the same thing for not having any black friends or Hispanic friends.

Only if the reason you don't have black friends is because you don't like black people. Otherwise no.

[jahaims]

Depends why you don't

[Anonymous]

[Dinosaursandanime65]
