There is some dude trying to sell junk in front of my house. It's technically not my turf because it's across the sidewalk but uh wtf. Bothering people at the bus stop. Struggle yard sale.

Hey, somebody might need a broke crocpot lid, and a Andrew Dice Clay album in their life. Don't miss it up.

probably been 60% mexican 20% white 20% black friends for me

Right now, it's probably like 35% White 30% Asian 20% Hispanic 15% Black for me

I think the most struggle thing I've seen is some dude in my dorm who collected cigarette butts off the ground at my campus and roll himself some new cigarettes.

I pretty much exclusively had black friends for much of my childhood, but then again, my neighborhood was 99% black. Unless the demographics of your area push you in that direction, not having friends of a different ethnic background is some morally repugnant shit.

Eh...

Can't really agree with this.
 
There goes TD to talk to him. Oh dear. I think the struggle seller is giving him something as payment. What is this.

Edit: He got a catalog of collectible farm equipment toys.

El Cundio accepts all forms of payment.

I went to a High School and College that were pretty damned diverse, and yet you'd have whites who exclusively hung out with whites, asians who exclusively hung out with asians, blacks who exclusively hung out with blacks, etc. It's some bullshit. I can understand immigrants clinging together, but there's no excuse for me to only have black friends at a school that is 90% non-black. Obviously if you're in the Black Student Union and on the stepping team, your friends are going to sway in one direction, but not having a single friend of a differing ethnic background despite the fact that statistically, your environment should lead to a ton of friends fitting that bill? I'm sorry, but I don't see eye to eye with that.

Yeah having asian friends is statistically stacked against me

meanwhile I live on the side of town where 90% of signs are in Spanish only.

San Jose, CA is 30% Asian 30% Hispanic 30% White and 10% other so there's a damn good chance that a ton of my friends are going to be from those three groups :p I have a ton of Viet friends.

Can't force friends ship. I have had friends of all colors, and shit just evolves.

Its communicating with likeminded people. Its more about cultural and background building bridges than racial.

Are we talking about in colleges? Because shit, once you're there - the pool of minorities isn't even that big on any side of the spectrum.

i don't really have a problem w/ folks staying to their own. i just don't know why you'd limit yourself like that.
like harson my HS was split pretty evenly, but for the most part everybody stayed w/ their own. some crowds had some good crossover.

I missed my mexibros while I was up in Vancouver, no background sounds of people playing EL RADIO LOBO on their porch or in their cars
 
Took an online course for the summer. Had to go to campus for the final. On my way bought a scantron from the book store.

Got a call from the professor today, the test taking place said while grading the scantrons they saw mine had already been run through the scantron grading machine. Obvious proof that I had cheated. Funniest part, shit was an open book and open notes final and the score on my test was 10 out of 50.

They told my professor, he was cool about it. Said I had scored high on all my previous tests, and hadn't missed an assignment. Could have blown off the final and gotten a low B. Didn't make sense for me to cheat my way to a 20% for almost no reason.

Just got off the phone, said he has it sorted out. He thinks some other professor took it and graded it by mistake and placed it back in his inbox.

Glad it didn't happen with a shitty professor or I could have been expelled over some bullshit. It would have been like getting fired on your day off for stealing boxes.

Obviously, this thread is a reflection of that concept. But people's cultures, mindset, background and sensibilities aren't predetermined or defined by their race. This thread is also a reflection of that. Moris relates to us in a lot of those before mentioned departments, and he's Mexican. I completely understand people gravitating towards likeminded people, and I'm not saying that it's wrong for people to primarily situate themselves with people of their own ethnic background for that very reason. I'm simply saying that it's incredibly weird to live in an area that allows the opportunity to make friends with a wide variety of people, and come out of the situation with friends that exclusively match your race. You're not going to know if someone's culture, mindset, background and sensibilities are compatible with your own if you never allow the chance to find out. It's obviously annecdotal, but from what I've seen, whites who exclusively hung out with whites, asians who exclusively hung out with asians, blacks who exclusively hung out with blacks and Hispanics who exclusively hang out with Hispanics don't even make the effort to associate themselves with people of another race. There's no opportunity for forging diverse friendships, because they refuse to step outside of their bubble. I have an issue with that.

Are we talking about in colleges? Because shit, once you're there - the pool of minorities isn't even that big on any side of the spectrum.

We're talking about the demographics of any setting. Grade school, college, your job, your neighborhood, your city, etc. I'm just saying that if your overall environment has you constantly interacting with people of a different racial background, within a climate that is ripe for friendships to blossom, and yet you somehow find yourself with friends that only correspond with your racial background, then there's a good chance that phenomenon is self-inflicted.

Obviously if you go to a Historically Black College, live in Iowa, went to an Ivy League school and now work on Wall Street, etc. then clearly those aren't overly diverse environments to begin with, so the liklihood of your friends not being diverse is heightened significantly.

I'd buy one if Sony didn't lock it down so well and it was actually 100% exploited right now.

Isn't it just the PSP aspect of the Vita that is exploitable right now?

ya, so all the exploits that ran on psp work for vita. There are still no real exploits that hack into the vita proper. I only wish....

This portable talk made me remember that I bought SMTIV and literally only played it for 5 minutes before passing out on my bed and not touching it since. I should change that.
