While ethnic people can be proud of their heritage, it's another thing for them to want to only associate with their culture in this country. I would feel an Asian who won't befriend anyone else outside of their culture as also acting exclusionary. What I guess I have more respect for though is if the Asian is actually participating in a lot of Asian culture..[/quote]

I am not Asian. Ergo, it is not up to me to judge Asians for whom they choose to befriend, or not befriend, and if their level of participation in their culture is clannish or not.

The USA is barely 2% Jewish.  Most of those Jews are either A. religious or otherwise participating deeply in Jewish culture.  Or B.  Quite willing to befriend nonJews.  The number of people in the USA who are Jewish, are atheist and not deeply culturally Jewish, and who do not make non-Jewish freinds is probably less than 1/2 a percent of the whole population.  There are plenty of people left for you to be friends with. I do not understand why you are making such a big deal about this. It strikes me as creepy, and either a sign of some other problem you have, or a cover for an agenda of some sort.

You have taken what I think was meant to be a thread to answer a range of different questions about all kinds of details of Jewish life, and turned it into a long debate about your personal experience.  I do not think that was the intent, or is desirable.  [/quote]
