Summary:

I think you shouldn't let your cultures or different faiths stop you from getting to know someone. Because that somebody you don't get to know could have been the best thing that's ever happened to you. Be open and not so judgemental. I have a lot of awesome friends with different cultures, beliefs, and religions. If i would have kept to myself and been picky about who i was friends with. Then i wouldn't even know half these people. And my life is pretty awesome with the different varieties of people! Not to mention all the new things you learn about. Its just a good experience all around.
