Reply to comment by Everyoneeatshere in NYC is more ethnically diverse, less racially segregated, report finds by Ice_Business

Kids migrate towards people they identify with most it happens everywhere. My wife went to a school that taught in English in India but the social groups split mostly on preferred languages from the outset and stayed that way all the way through. Kids that spoke Marathi were a clique, Hindi were a clique, Urdu another, and English it's own. So even within the same religion, castes and family wealth cliques formed and stayed based primarily on childhood language skills.

So what you are saying is segregated whether by choice or not

At the very least it takes a concerted effort not to fall into segregated cliques. There are social groups that actually do tend to be more diverse but they tend to be considered outsiders. Like when I was younger the mix of teens hanging out at Chinatown Fair playing Capcom vs SNK 2 with each other was way less segregated on race and instead just a group of gamer geeks.

I can vouch for this. In high school, the nerdy kids (the type to do Naruto runs) had very diverse friend groups and still do.

While the "normies" mostly stuck to their own racial group.
