I want to add that it can depend on the state you live in how people interact with eachother. (I hope I didn't mispell anything. I am not good at spelling.) I was born in Los Angeles, California. Growing up there people of all races, ethnicity, and religions usually got along well and mingled easily with eachother. My cousin, from Czech Republic lives in Queens, New York. I have noticed a difference there in regards to interaction between different people. For exapmle, the whole building my cousin lives in is full of various Slavic ethnicities. Some Neighborhoods or buildings have predominately one certain ethnicity. Like I had a very good Ukrainian friend and the whole building he lived in was mostly Russian and Ukrainian people. People can even get by easier without learning English in places like these as well, because whole communities, along with their places of businesses are usually made up of their ethnicity. For instance "China Town," is all Chinese people almost. "Little Siagon," "Little Italy," and so forth and so on... New York is more crammed together. Huge apartment buildings and houses right next to eachother. It is also very expensive so it helps to have the "extended family," to make a decent living there. California is not cheap to live in either (especially the Southern region), but it is a bit more manageable. You can survive and live more comfortably with a small "nuclear family." It is also more spread apart. You don't have a whole district just full of Russians. Everyone is spread out more. I now live in Texas, which is even more cheaper to live in and more spread out. The place where I live is mostly military people, so really this does not apply to us directly. The military is full of people from all across the United States and from all races and ethnicities. Because we all share a common interest in the military we all mingle and interact with eachother all the time. But, in the more rural areas of Texas it can be pretty isolated (as it is in all the Country areas of the United States). People tend to keep to themselves, sometimes because that is the way it just is.
