Though when I hangout with my black friends I find it really hard to relate to them and end up pretending to be interested in the stuff they're interested in
I can relate better with those who are authentic, kind, good listeners and willing to talk about meaningful things deeply. In general I don't connect well with other Asians.
skin color has nothing to do with understanding someone. maturity, background, culture, the place someone is raised can make it hard to relate. i was taught to always be yourself, honest to yourself is most important.
@swimmergirl well yeah but many types of people groups are raised a certain way and develope certain interested. I mean I could've been overly specific but then it gets too complicated. So in a un-complicated statement i usually have a hard time relating.
@Aidan yes, i know, you made the point of "black friends" i was making the point skin color doesn't having anything to do with it, it s the way you were raised, where, how etc. those are the things people relate too. etc.
