I would like to co-sign with Epitome because most people who complain (talking about the author) about some of these groups never attempted to interact with these people. But then again, if the author of this article did this then he/she wouldn't have anything to complain about.

Self segregation groups tend to occur more often in large universities with many foreign students. These people, who probably speak English as a second language, tend to feel more comfortable with others who who speak their language. They therefore choose to hang out with students from their home country and only use English when they need to. Of course, it's slightly different for those who come specifically to learn English, since many have to sign a contract at the beginning of class, indicating that they will only speak English with their classmates!
