do you or anyone you know have more white friends than ppl of your own race (blk)? if so, what do you think about it?
I live and work around exclusively Caucasians.
No problems. I'm not mistreated or anything. In fact, I'm treated quite well.

It does not, in my opinion.

me for example have a lotta blk friends but my cousin have a lot of white friends and no matter how she try 2 be down with blk ppl she don't seem 2 get along better wit white ppl and she has more white friends than her own race.
This is cultural more so than racial which will include mannerisms, dress, speech, beliefs, etc.

i told her that she acts white and dat is why she has more white friends. i wasnt tryna be mean but i was jus tryna help and she took it as a insult. so i wonder wat you yall think.
I wouldn't say she is "acting white". Again, it is cultural.
Its been awhile, but I have been accused of "acting white" because of my diction, manners of speech, as well as the music I may listen to.
If one is around African-Americans of a particular culture, one has to "do as the Romans do" if you will.
On the flip side, I have a fair amount of educated family members. They are Nubian. No problems.
