Three quarters of white folks don’t have any non-white friends
While this report is 2 years old, the findings are fascinating.
What is the racial composition of white Americans' friend networks?
In a 100-friend scenario, the average white American has 91 white friends, one friend from each minority group, and three friends of unknown race. 75% of white Americans have entirely white social networks.
How does this compare to black Americans' friend networks?
The average black American's 100-friend network consists of 83 black friends, eight white friends, and a few friends from other minority groups. This means black Americans have ten times as many black friends as white friends.
What causes these disparities and what are the implications?
Factors include population demographics, people associating with others similar to themselves, and historical segregation. These disparities limit cross-racial understanding and meaningful discussions on racial issues.
