Re: QOTD-Friday
In high school, I grew up in a very WASP-y area, however my immediate tight group of friends consisted of a Taiwanese girl, a Jewish/Mexican girl, a half Jewish girl, a black guy, my 'gay boyfriend' and me. I was the minority in the group!
Then in college, I went to a small, private Lutheran school in NC, and it was all white, Christian girls - much different!
Growing up moreso than now. I grew up in the melting pot that is l.a. and went to private schools that were still accessible to having a diverse ethnic mix. Since then I have gravitated more to people with latin backgrounds or are white...not by design or on purpose. That's just what I tally now that I'm going through my close friends in my head.
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?

Growing up I had a lot more friends of different races than I do now. I grew up an Army brat and moving every 2.5 year exposed me to a ton of different people and cultures.
ETA: DH grew up in Idaho and was 10 years old before he met someone who was black. I found this really strange when he told me that.
I was born in a very small town in PA... think one red light small. I did not meet anyone of a diffrent race until we moved to MD in the 3rd grade.
I did growing up, I was a Navy brat and like Kristin, we moved every few years and I was exposed to a lot of different races and religions.
Now, I just don't get out much. Several of my co-workers are Indian and I interact with them daily, obviously, but most (not all) of our friends are caucausian.. not sure why, no reason, just worked out that way.
