I have been friends with my friend, Chis for a couple years now.
This summer we have been hanging out a lot more often. Usually we hangout near my neighborhood or go to downtown to a club or whatnot.
He has recently moved into his own apartment and keeps begging me to come see it, visit it, and go with him to a fun bar nearby.
The problem is that he lives in a dangerous neighborhood that is 100% black. (he is black)
He has grown up in the same neighborhood his whole life (just his own apt now) so he is just used to it I guess.
I would not really feel safe or comfortable going to visit him, or especially hanging out in a bar in his neigborhood.
Is it rude to tell him the truth?
I am a young white female, and race has never been an issue in our friendship. I would hate it to start now
