On a more practical front the truth might be that people, on average, simply like to hang around with similar people. That is the position of some paleoconservatives such as Pat Buchanon. While they get tagged as racists their position comes from a more solid ground, namely that government forcing of people to interact is doomed to fail. An easy way to relate to the position is thinking of assigned seating at a wedding. While people tolerate each other during dinner the groups tend to rearrange as the night goes on. People simply clump with others that they relate to. There is nothing wrong with that.

IMO where the paleoconservative movement falls short is self-policing. If it actually holds the moral high ground that it claims then it should do a better job of cleansing itself of racism.
