In reply to the discussion: Study Shows Most White Americans Don't Have Black Friends [View all]madville
(7,403 posts)I'm not disputing anything and the study makes perfect sense.
I looked at the article and went to the website for the study put didn't see any geographical information. My point is there are many states in this country that have less than 1% Black people in their population, Montana is 0.3% Black for example. I would not expect nor find anything wrong about White people not having Black friends in Montana.
There are huge areas of this country with no Black population, but basically everywhere Black people live there is a significant White population nearby. I think that skews the White vs. Black comparison that 75% of White people have only White friends and 65% of Black people have only Black friends. I was just curious if they did it in an area that was 50/50 black and white or did they survey people all over the country? It would make a big difference in the results.
