Not on purpose probably but black segregate and hispanics segregate and orientals segregate. Despite all the rhetoric that we should all socialize, it rarely happens. When a black man marries a white woman she is a trophy and in my experience treated like a piece of garbage.

Yes, they do in a kind of passive/aggressive way. The aggressive part is in the way they foster jingoism in "school spirit." You know, the whole business of "our school is better than everyone else's."
Passively they allow cliques to form independent social power structures and rarely intervene. However, there is an antidote. The Southern Poverty Law Center, through their Teaching Tolerance program, sponsors Mix It Up Lunch. Check it out at:
