People who live in more multi-ethnic countries, like the United States, will have an easier time answering.

What is your race/ethnicity?
What races/ethnicities do you get along the best with/treat you best/etc?
What races/ethnicities do you like/dislike the most?
Any other thoughts, etc.

I'm a mestizo. I was born in the U.S. and currently live here. Generally, people aren't nice to me, and neither am I to them (I'm usually polite though). I don't get out of the house much, mostly for college and work.

Overwhelmingly, black people are the nicest to me. In general, whites, middle easterners, Asians, and yes, mestizos/Latin Americans look down on me the most. I don't dislike any particular group of people - I dislike people in general.

What are your experiences?

[Nostalgia]

race/ethnicity has no bearing on how well or badly I get along with anyone, it is their culture background that matters to me. At this moment, I prefer western culture, because I live in a western culture society. If I somehow end up moving to a different culture then I will adapt accordingly.

[JC22]

I only get along with....everybody.

I was raised with everybody.

[peppersasen]

I'm Asian and I get along best with whoever isn't racist/ignorant.

I get along least with overly pathetic patriotic people and those who are not accustomed to living/working in more diverse environments (not to generalize those from homogeneous countries, but it's the truth, I can't even get along with those types even online, sometimes if they're from developed countries, they can be pretty insensitive/inconsiderate to the rest of the less developed world). But these types of people can be from every race/country.

Oh and I hate anti-immigration folks as much as I hate immigrants who refuse to assimilate. Both are asshole-ish in their own ways... But the biggest asshole is still the native who won't give the immigrant who makes an effort a chance. Even worst are the types from countries that earn money from other countries/are dependant to those countries, take what they need, exploit what they can, and then when treat those people like second class citizens.

I neither like nor dislike anyone in specific.

That race doesn't factor in, class does. My boss is Iranian, I've got friends all over the racial spectra (from caucasian, to african, to east asian, to west asian, to south american, etc) that goes for exes too. I don't find that race has any sort of impact on how people act, we all want basically the same things in life - happiness. People strive for that in different ways, but the end goal is the same, and if you discuss enough with people, you'll find that what seperates us is far less than what we have in common.

I like the 100 metre race best, because it's quick and to the point. Anything longer than 800 metres is boring. It's not racism if it's the truth.

[PRBori]

Race is a non-issue for me. I get along fine with everyone regardless of their race; however, personality and behavior can throw me away from anyone anytime of the day. Those sometimes may be higher in some races than other, but it is because of the cultural differences and/or upbringing of the individuals and not the race per se.

Assholes come in all shapes and sizes, literally and figuratively.

[warweasel]

I'm not much of a people person... that being said, race/ethnicity/whatever don't factor into anything. I can get along with anyone who isn't an ignorant ass.

[The Dan Keizer]

I am a tall white guy. I get along well with everybody, except I am prejudiced against Italians (Kind of growing out of this one but it's still there.)

I find the people that tend to hate me the most are: Short angry guys (presumably jealous of my height), "alpha male lesbians", and coffee house pseudointellectuals.

Alpha male lesbians are basically lesbians that have short angry guy syndrome, so that's easily explained.

The "coffee house pseudointellectuals" I think didn't care for me because I tend to act boorish when I am out and my speech pattern can get pretty ghetto. Most of my better friends are smart and fairly intellectual and had other friends of theirs that were the same way. I think of myself as being pretty smart and fairly intelligent depending on the topic. But I don't go out of my way to give people that impression.

So people that meet me usually assume I am a dumbass until they get to know me better, which they usually don't.

[LadySpock]

What is your race/ethnicity?
My race is HUMAN.
My ethnicity is Black (Caribbean)

What races/ethnicities do you get along the best with/treat you best/etc?
I get along with people based on their behavior.

What races/ethnicities do you like/dislike the most?
I dislike very few people. Some people's behavior is what I dislike. Most behaviors are based on socio-economic class, gender, and temperment.

[holdyourhead]

I want sunitaishot to post here.

[iWonder]

I'll be honest I get a long best with those who are from the same culture as I am. That being said I can get along perfectly fine with anyone else it's just down to a person by person basis, but it's just an observation I've made.

[darniem]

I'm an American living in the USA of White Euro-stock.

I can (and do) get along with all races well. I have had the most joy interacting with my fellow honkys, Africans (that are actually from Africa), and Latinos. I can get along with Asians well enough but sometimes the extreme difference in culture prevents the desired efficiency of communication to really get along super well. It's amicable, but not overwhelmingly fun. I also enjoy folks from the India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka region.

Knew a couple Persians who were very reserved and "short" until they got to know me and then they were amazing to talk to.

I can get along with Black Americans very well too, but I would say that Black Americans have been the group to be unkind to me the most in my life followed by other White Americans (usually of the Northern variety treating me like crap for no discernable reason). Still, some of my closest childhood friends were Black Americans and White Americans. I guess in the USA you have white trash and black trash, and living in the South it is inevitable that I'd encounter both with unfavorable results.

[Distance]

I get along best with globally minded individuals. The smaller their worlds, the more boring.

[SirJac]

I'm white and while there is no ethnicity I don't get along with, I do seem to socialize easier with asians compared to other ethnic groups. This is probly due to being exposed to them frequently and so I've picked up more of their cultures then I have of other ethnic groups.

This is why I like you Distance. :D


I don't want to say that this is an inherently racist-outing question....but it seems like it.


Distance's answer = my answer.

[24601]

I'm a white girl, and race doesn't usually figure into getting along with someone. I find a lot of people who grew up in certain cultures are kind of fun to be around - I love being around more relaxed people, and that can be culturally based.

[JYFly]

What is your race/ethnicity? mixed Black/White/Native American; people will see me as an "African American".

What races/ethnicities do you get along the best with/treat you best/etc? I don't get along with any race more than any other. I can't relate any more to a random black person than I can to a random white one. I'm treated well more by whites; blacks are more likely to randomly insult or try to provoke me when they pass by me on the street.

What races/ethnicities do you like/dislike the most? I dislike blacks on average more often than other races because they're more likely to insult me.

Any other thoughts, etc. Average does not make the individual, correlation != causation, etc.

[mindvirus]

I get a long well with the races that are around me... can't get along with any race I haven't interacted with...

I get along with almost anyone - white, black, brown, yellow, red, green.

But let's be realistic. For myself, and I bet for most others here, there are tendencies of inner circles that don't reflect the proportions in the immediate environment.

I seem to end up dating Korean guys, for some reason. 3 of the 5 guys I've been in LTRs with were Korean.

Probably half of my friends are Asians in general. Don't ask me why...that's just how it turned out.

I have plenty of white friends, some latino friends, but very few black friends.

My observations may be wrong, but to me it seems like most black people prefer to socialize only with other black people.

Race is irrelevant for me. I don't like or dislike someone based on their race.

[Analyze]

I get along pretty well with protoss and terran, but I don't really like zerg.

[anticlimatic]

Yay, a chance for everyone to sound off on how politically correct and totally-non-racist they are!

I'm white as bread, but tend to click with mexicans easiest. I think it's the whole catholic-culture work-ethic thing. I like the laid back seriousness of the black people I know, but they can sometimes be a bit too laid back for me. One can only slouch so far back in their chair for so long. Native americans have good senses of humor, which I appreciate. Russians also make me laugh, but usually they're not trying to. And about the only race I've never clicked with was asians...which I always thought was a shame. Love their culture. Fellow white people, meh...what can I say.

[ModernLit]

well, it wouldn't be the human race...
