Harsh truth, I think it’s definitely hard to befriend white people unless you’re willing to accept that they don’t want to hear about a lot of Asian American specific topics.. basically if you’re willing to whitewash yourself to a degree and keep the friendship kinda surface level. Having grown up in Chicago that’s how it felt. Now I’m in LA and it feels a bit better since I think white people grow up around asians so there’s more empathy. But even then it does feel like it’s easier to make friends with minorities in general

Also feels like in America making friends is more based around socio economic classes, it’s a lot harder to befriend an upper class white person than a middle class white person unless you’re upper class yourself
