"Some, like Justine, consciously or unconsciously self-segregate."
MOST people, Asian, Indian, Caucasian (even to the degree of Italian, English, Irish, German, etc), tend to feel more comfortable among others of a similar cultural-ethnic background.
The problem here is that the Government and the Schools encourage Balkanization of the population by ALLOWING race or ethnic limited organizations. ALL OF THEM should be banned. This is AMERICA. We should only have room for Americans.
"A hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts 'Native' before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance." - Theodore Roosevelt
What SHOULD be allowed are clubs like an Asian Study Group, or an Irish Study Group, or an Indonesian Study group - open to ALL students REGARDLESS of background, to encourage understanding and knowlege of other socities, rather than to reinforce an agenda of ethnic exclusivity.

So we should ban The Emerald Society or the Italian American Police Association?!
