We mix a little but for some reason we always group ourselves like this.
To qwout my lit teacher from Last year-
"I've noticed that y'all seem to segregate yourselves, I don't know if it's like a sub counciance thing or if y'all just like to be around people like you, I don't know but that's interesting to me!"
This also interests me, so NS Gen what is your thoughts on this?

For example, I sit with the non-sporty ones at my school. Those who prefer to play online games because I can relate to them better, even though I don’t play their games. They’re more quiet, which I prefer to be, and they don’t play sports, which I can relate to.

If you’re asking about race, often so, but that’s probably because of lingering racist attitudes combined with the different in experiences children of different races have.

That is a likely cause.

And it’s not that we don’t like to sit with people we’re not familiar with. It’s just that we have a tendency where we prefer to associate with people who we know are like us, and not different so as to accidentally cause a ‘debate’ in whatever they’re talking.

This isn't just race, it is also social class, region, religion, and politics.
Cue the people chiming in how their best friend is is the exact opposite of them and checks every mark on the diversity box, but for normal people, I am correct.

When left to their own devices, people naturally gravitate towards people similar to themselves. Oftentimes, this has a racial component, but this is not always the case. Other major categorizations include social class, religion, and regions.

Those factors do contribute to who you associate with... in my class, there’s different groups—extrovert girls, introvert girls, sporty boys and non-sporty boys. It’s whoever we tend to gravitate towards more... also how much they come to you.

And extroverted girls are more likely to go out and meet with people...usually other extroverts.
And people who play sports are likely to play sports...with other people who play sports.
This stuff isn't rocket science lol.
