I think that's a fair point. I myself am close to my immediate and extended family - I actually like them and enjoy spending time with them. But yes, I think it's common for many ethnic families to only appear "close", and spend time with each other out of obligation rather than actually enjoying each other's company. It's very common. BUT, whether we like our families or not, most ethnic people do know/spend quite a bit of time with their extended families, which I think is the general point of the poll (although I understand that this isn't the point you are trying to make/discuss)
