[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of white people assume that non whites don't want to be their friend so they don't try.[/quote]

This is a pertinent point [/quote]
AA and I can become friends with anyone at work except for a white person. They are the snobbiest and least friendly in my experience. I can get along with them, but I'm not eating lunch with them. Anyone on here who's thinking this isn't about race is in denial or is white. [/quote]

I agree that they are the snobbiest and least friendly (for the most part) but how do you explain that they treat me (and American white woman) the same way.  I've tried in my office to find a group to have lunch with, socialize with, everything with everyone and honestly the white women are the least accepting and least friendliest.  When I even suggest a lunch or happy hour, they just look at me like I asked for their first born.  I don't think it's a race thing in my office - more of a snobby-bitch thing.  I'm now finding my own set of friends that are of various backgrounds, color, and ethnicities - but I still sort of feel like we're the little "outcast" group. DC is harsh.[/quote]

White women do not go out of their way to befriend minorities. They automatically click with other white women and start their own clique. If you're a minority you have to work very hard to get in.[/quote]

what I'm saying (i'm the pp you're quoting) is that I'm not a minority - I'm white.  I'm a white woman and they treat me the same way - not friendly, don't include me, have their own clique and look at me like I'm 3-headed if I try to "get in"[/quote]

This is OP. This is how i feel. There's a group of blonde late twenties/early thirties clique at my job. When I tried to talk to them they acted like I was Shrek or something. So weird!!

Why do they do that to you? I assumed it was because  I was "different."
