Gahanna, OH USA My friends are mostly white middle-aged women, straight and gay, intelligent and curious, Christian, Jewish and agnostic. Jill, 60
Saylorsburg, PA USA My immediate friends, the friends from high school and college -- not at all. We're all from metro NYC, white, middle-class, college graduates. My extended friends are more diverse and include a variety of economic backgrounds and include people from all over the U.S., Brazil, England, Uganda, Philippines, and Italy. Laura, 36
Lowell, MA USA Not that diverse. The people I hang out with the most tend to be people I have a lot in common with. Alias Irrelevante Fairly diverse...I have quite a few Indian friends, a couple African American, but all the rest are white. But then, those that are white are from many different nationalities. It could be more diverse I suppose, but I have what I have and I love them all! Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA Reasonably diverse as to age, but otherwise mostly white professionals. Oregon is not noted for its ethnic diversity. Jane, 62
West Linn, OR USA Not very. I hardly have any friends. Firelady, 23
Dallas, TX USA Well..culturally, not very. As far as personality..incredibly. Angela, 18
Bella Vista, AR USA Not at this time. I pretty much have friends that are white in their late twenties to late thirties. This has not always been the case and of late it has been bumming me out. Felicia, 35
Lowell, MA USA Not very, unfortunately. One is Metis (like myself), the rest are white anglo-saxon people. Four of my freinds are gay but I don't know if that counts as diversity. It's not something that I did delibretely, but my high school had four black people, six Jewish people and two asians. Jaden, 21
Brampton, Ontario CANADA I have White, Black, Mexican, and Chinese friends Russell, 36
Durham, NC USA Very diverse. I have friends who fly off to Jamaica on a whim or go to Spain to choose the next marble for their foyer (seriously), and friends who have eaten in soup kitchens. I think growing up in a large city and also working at many different types of jobs has afforded me a very well-rounded circle of friends. I feel pretty lucky to have been on both sides of the fence myself. Fisch, 46
Preston, CT USA Pretty diverse I suppose. Dianne, 17
Ontario CANADA quite undiverse because I have no friends. Talia, 24
Wilton, CT USA The main group of people I hang out with ranges from the youngest person being 21 years old and the oldest being 40 or so years old. That big of an age difference makes for some very interesting conversations. It's rather funny. The oldest person has a child that is around the same age as the youngest person. That always bothers them when we party and the age topic comes around. Aaron, 22
VA USA personality-wise, my friends are a pretty diverse group. but I think most of us are people critical of society and fairly intelligent... as for actual ethnic diversity, all my friends are white. I didn't necessarily choose it that way; there is just a vast majority of white people at my school. The 10 or 11 non-white people that go to my school keep to themselves. Politically, too, they're all pretty diverse. Johanna, 18
OK USA my group of friends is extremly diverse, not only racially but personality-wise. we all look and act very differently. Becky, 16
AUSTRALIA not as much as I'd like it to be Patty We are pretty homogenous soccer Moms! Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA Fairly. Karen, 22
Marshalltown/Ames, IA USA My group of friends is kinda diverse. Let's see, they are all different ages. A few are single, most are married, a few divorced, some have children. One or two gay people, most are straight. My husband is from India, the rest are basically from the same american background. Some are snooty, some are redneck. Some are skinny, a few obese. Some are christian, some are nothing. Some drink beer, some wouldn't touch it. A few like weed, the rest wouldn't touch that either. A couple smoke, most don't. Some are quiet and shy, some are loud and outspoken. That about sums it up. Lisa J., 23
TN USA Prettty divberse, actually. I dont make friends easily, so I dont have alot. Still my small circle of friends has a lot of diversity. Derya We're mostly all at least ethnically Jewish if not practicing. In fact, we're all Reform Jews, too. So, there is basically no diversity. There is no diversity of religion, race, ethinicity, or even socio-economic class. There is a diversity of genders, though, and a diversity of sexual orientations and political beliefs.
