By nature, most people tend to self-segregate by culture, class, ethnicity, and indeed race. This aspect of human nature is perfectly normal, used to be taken as a given, and shouldn’t be a source of contention. What has made it a point of contention is that we have a political elite that encourages the most extreme possible expression of these tribal instincts in non-whites while treating any similar sense of identity and self-segregation among whites as something pathological and criminal. That and not a sense of racial or ethnic identity (in America or anywhere else) is that problem.
