How homogenous are your social group/s?

[So rightwing that I broke the Political Compass!]

I'm referring to chosen social groups, not family/colleagues. Are you primarily immersed in social groups that are quite homogeneous(be it in terms of race/gender/age/wealth/beliefs/other).

Of course it's somewhat different for someone from Smalltown, ND vs NYC, New York. So I also ask: how out of line are your chosen social groups relative to what they "should be" based on the demographics of your location and lifestyle?

Mixed by age, race, sexuality, wealth and social status. I don't like being surrounded by people exactly like me

Most of my friends here are between 25 and 55, and of various nationalities (mainly Thai and French, one or two Scandinavians and a German) - I don't tend to get along very well on an intimate level with Americans or British), but we're all pretty much teachers.  I have a few friends who are local business people, so from a higher economic class, but that's about it.

How about you answer the question before asking other people?

By Montanan standards, the people I mingle with are diverse in terms of age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, and socioeconomic class. Compared to the local norm, I spend more time than average with atheists, religious minorities, people with left-wing political views, and folks with at least some tertiary education. There is little diversity, however, in "race" among people I know in large part due to the homogeneity of the local population. I have no friends from the upper classes, so most folks I'm around are poorer and less privileged than I. As a default, I strongly prefer to be in diverse, not homogeneous, groups.

Extremely. Pretty much all white and liberal and in my general age range, some are Christian, some aren't (and quite anti-Christian) but that's the only notable difference.

It depends on how we're defining it, of course. The vast majority of the people in my social groups are young university students. If one views that as homogenous, well then there is a strong degree of homogeneity.

I do have friends who are not students though (one of my old flatmates whom I'm quite close with is a waitress, another girl I know works in a hotel reception, etc).

I also think I could say that I hang out with many of my parents' friends who are considerably older.

In terms of the main group there is also considerable variation in nationality, gender, religious and political beliefs and sexual orientation.

I have friends from all continents and of all skin colours. I have friends who don't believe in evolution and friends who worship Dawkins. I have friends who are too far to the right to vote for any of the sell-out parties and friends who are too far on the left to do so. Etc, etc. 

I'd say that my social groups are more heterogenous than for most people in my position but of course in a global perspective I'm still part of a very tiny elite (I have no third world farmers on my list of friends).

Pretty homogenous, either exclusively White or nearly exclusively Hispanic, such is life in Eastern Washington.
