When does liking a different race or culture from other than your own become abnormal ?

Is it normal to constantly want to surround yourself with people from a different race ? Like you go out of your way to befriend them or date them ? Is it normal to think that one race is better than others ( but not your race) ?
 
It is tough to call this normal or abnormal... It depends on many things.
No one on here knows enough about you or where you come from to deem this as abnormal. It can depend on your culture, and what society you're from.
If it is something that does not make you, or others, feel uncomfortable, and does not cause any harm, I do not see it as abnormal.
 
Obsession is never good and it is difficult to say whether it is normal or abnormal since many people go through their own obsessions. I think it is neither. I hope that you see that not one race is superior to another. Appreciation and curiosity for a culture is good and embrace it if you want, that's fine. But it seems as if you don't like your own race and think it is inferior that is why you only want to surround yourself with a different race.Try to be around your own race more often and embrace your own culture. Find that your race or culture is not inferior because it isn't. No ones is to another.
 
I don't think it's normal. As you already know, dating and making friends outside of your own race is perfectly normal. But saying that you hate your own race and desperately trying to latch onto another group just because they are Black, Asian, Hispanic or whatever, is obsessive behavior. It also makes the person who is doing it appear ridiculous and pathetic to all races.
