Ok, so for the past few days ive been meeting quite a few furrys. But, I found out they all have somthing that makes them the same. They were all white. Infact, I havnt met anyone whos a furry, who isnt white. Is it just me? Am I somehow racist, and thats forcing me too avoid furrys who arnt white?

Perhaps subconsciously you are just seeking a change. Not so much avoiding white, but rather, seeking non-whites for a bit of diversity?

I never really noticed it before but I see what you're saying. Now I haven't been out doing "meet-and-greets" (my current situation kinda prevents that) but everyone that I have met is also white.
I don't have any issue with this at all, just a curiosity.

...actually he does raise a interesting point. Dont think ive ever noticed any cause my friends of... another color(no offense if any) usually hated the idea of looking at furry or like that.

Well, I never really considered color when I joined. I really only looked at the community in general because of a single common interest in the creating of a persona that was different from our appearance. Besides, don't most of our fur colors seem different apart from each other anyways? We have Violet is well....... um violet, Betty is a golden brown color, Betty is blue, Polyanna is green, etc. So even if the person who is white or black joins, its not that really big of a deal.

It's not a 'deal' rune, it's a simple curiosity that has been noticed. Like the "Why are most furries gay?" curiosity. I doubt anyone has a major problem with it, it's just one of those things we idly wonder about.

Non-white furries arn't that hard to find. This one club I go to, about 5 that go there.

I'm sorry if this seems like a ridiculous question, but are you talking about furries with white fur or furries who people behind them who are white? I'm guessing the latter but I'm still slightly confused.

Ashton, I'm in the same boat. I think you guys are referring to the RL people behind the furries? Cause if its the actual furries, there is a lot of diversity of the fur color.
Which of course says that its the first option.
I've never really thought about it, is it really that much of a disparity?

He's referring to furries being Caucasian. And the answer is simple: Only white people generally have the luxury to get such silly notions into their heads like being a fur fan. Like it or not, our little pastime here is quite distinctly a bit of weird decadent culture. 
Couple that with the typically quite conservative upbringing of most minority groups, and you have a recipe that leads to a situation where non-whites tend to be left out, despite no one making any conscious choice to do so.
Of course, as times change, so does this. I imagine there is a fair bit more color in our little demographic these days. Not to mention that Asian people have long been a part of our group. I mean, it's a weird, highly-sexualized, infamous den of deviancy. I'm sure that Japan has a large presence here in addition to the USA and Europe.
