Only 3.7% of whites have black friends who are close enough to be in their wedding parties

In interracial friendships, whites are most likely to have a close East or Southeast Asian friend and least likely to have a black friend. When it comes to wedding parties, whites invite blacks only half as much as blacks invite whites, and East and Southeast Asians invite blacks only one-fifth as much as blacks invite East and Southeast Asians. This finding is consistent with the notion that whites are less accepting of interracial friendships.
