Ninety percent of Latinos said that they are friends with people of a different race, , making them much more likely than the rest of America to reach across racial lines to make friends.
'Nine out of 10 Latinos can say, some of my best friends are not-Latino,' my Code Switch teammate Hansi Lo Wang reported recently for NPR's Newscast unit.
Only about a quarter of the people of color surveyed said they didn't have any close personal friends from a different racial group.
But the number of white people who only had white friends was much higher, at 40 percent. But why did whites have more same-race friendships than any other group?
Part of it is just the math: there are just way more white folks.
