It makes sense to me Butterrfly. I would only make mention, however, that to imply that only "minorities" segregate themselves would be an oversimplification. It is in the nature of humans to find ways to seperate ourselves from each other into still smaller groups. Otherwise, we'd all, regardless of race, gender, class or moral values be in one, big happy fraternity. A fraternal organization of middle-class, white men who share similar backgrounds and values will (and has, time and time again) still decide to form a new fraternity, based on differences or "segregation" within that group. People segregate...that's why there are so many different types of orgazations in the world that are essentially the same.
So let's not imply that we only segregate along racial lines, because that is far from the truth...we seem to try and segregate along ANY darned line we can find.
