As the person before me said, humans are ingrained to stick to those who are like them. Whites with whites, blacks with blacks, Chinatown, Spainsh Harlem, etc.

At the end of the day, people will stick to thier groups based on color, nation or religion no matter how diverse you make thier surroundings. It is what it is.
