Why can't people from different races get along?

My best friends are Haitian, Chinese, Peruvian, Nigerian, and Irish - and they’re all immigrants. To be honest, I think that is one of the reasons we are such good friends: we’ve all had the experience of being a foreigner in a strange land.

I went to a school with a 50% white population, but the white population separated among lines of ethnicity (i.e. 35% Italian, 20% Irish, 5% everyone else [Serbian, Ukranian, etc.]).

All of my friends must understand the importance of silence to my daily routine. I talk more with strangers than my friends; my talkativeness is a measure of how uncomfortable I am feeling.
