Book Tries To Explain (voluntary) Segregation

"Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?”: A Psychologist Explains the Development of Racial Identity by
Beverly Daniel Tatum (Paperback - Jan. 2003)

I have not read the book but we all understand the title and have seen how ethnic groups flock. It was like that in the Navy, black guys hung together. I recall reading about the large number of British retirees who have homes in Spain and how the locals observe the Brits prefer the company of other Brits and are isolated from Spanish society. It is human nature and I do not think it takes a PhD to grasp that.
