My social circle is very diverse, but I want to limit it to people who share the same racial and religious background as me. How can I do this without appearing racist or discriminatory?

You can express an interest in having friends who share the same background as you by reaching out to specific religious or racial communities, attending events relevant to those communities, or being involved in organizations centered around that identity. It's important that your actions are not discriminatory and are genuinely rooted in a desire to connect with others. One way of achieving this is by learning more about the culture and context surrounding people from various racial and religious backgrounds. Additionally, make an effort to form meaningful relationships without making assumptions – everyone is unique and may have different values than yours. By engaging sincerely and listening thoughtfully, new opportunities for relationship formation could arise naturally without any racist motivation or behavior on your part.

It is understandable that you would want to surround yourself with people who share similar racial and religious backgrounds. However, this could be seen as discriminatory and may lead to a potential exclusion of certain groups. Although there might not necessarily be a harm in limiting the social circle, it’s important to ensure that such exclusions are not happening unintentionally. The best way would be by simply being more aware of whom you are actively involving in your social circles and trying to consciously diversify it if need be by inviting friends from different backgrounds.
