I find the self-segregation disheartening also. I grew up in the most ethnically and racially diverse counties (Queens, NY) in the world so it surprised me when I found self-segregation in college especially in the living arrangements. I heard about separate proms a few years ago. The reason given was different tastes in music. A prom is a celebration of the high school experience and one of the last opportunities to be together before graduation. If they wanted, they could have a mix of music that reflected the tastes of all of the students. It's a sad commentary on our times.
