[quote=Anonymous]Black guy here. I don't think you need "mainly" POC friends. While shared cultural experience is a big part of human beings' natural gravitation towards tribalism, it doesn't mean that it's necessary in order to be happy or survive in this world. It sounds like you may not have "enough" black friends to establish a connection that you can tap into when you need it. I have friends from all walks of life, but one of the issues that I deal with most is navigating a middle class, mostly white environment as a black guy who grew up in the hood. My life is basically like an episode of Blackish. When I feel like I can't relate to those around me or like I'm having a crisis of cultural identity, I can call up some of my black friends who come from similar backgrounds. You'll still have insensitive, tone deaf black friends too. [/quote]
