But broadly speaking, the racial homogeneity of social groups is shocking. The average white American has ninety-one white friends for every black, Asian, or Hispanic friend. The average black American has ten black friends for each white friend. Perhaps the most stunning statistic of interracial friendships is this: In the United States, where the majority of three-year-olds are not white, up to 75 percent of white people cannot name a single “minority” friend.
