Friendship Networks and Difference

Captions available

The idea

White and more-educated adults have larger friendship networks, and people of colour more often have kin-friends, relatives who are also close friends.

In practice

Cross-race friendships taking longer to deepen but broadening perspective, and more common among young adults.

Where people slip

Lower-income students may feel like outsiders, even less competent, beside higher-income friends.
