Sure, but there's often a limit to that chemistry. I worked fast food for years, and I was cool(ish) with plenty of my fellow employees, most of whom are basically the people I'm talking about, but it was sort of implicitly understood that I was just a work friend. Some of those people might have hung out with each other, but I was just too different from them to really fit into their social circles. It's not about class prejudice. People raised in similar surroundings are going to have more in common with each other, and will probably be more compatible with each other, than someone from a different cultural background.
