Self and also more or less forced segregation has ALWAYS been part of American history. If that weren't the case, there would never have been a "LITTLE ITALY","LITTLE HUNGARY" ( which when that sector moved uptown to the UES, embraced those from Germany, Hungary, Austria ), "CHINA TOWN" in Manhattan, nor GREEK TOWN, CHINA TOWN, LITTLE SCANDINAVIA, and the GERMAN sections in Chicago, etc.!

You are always making great points but usually it’s with stronger language :)
