Certain groups have stuck together in the past for survival and never really grew out of it. There was no welfare state to survive on.  It’s not racist, not anymore anyway. Chinatown, black neighborhoods, little Italy. The story is different for all of them but essentially the same. Language barriers, a sense of familiarity and security.

When people came to America in droves like the Italians through Ellis island, they were shunned and they grouped together to survive. They would learn english and assimilate into the culture. They raised their children as Americans and by that they had a much easier chance to escape that bubble of familiarity. Some choose not to leave the bubble and that’s fine, there is nothing wrong with it. To call it racist is naive in my opinion, it’s just culture.

It’s different now though. Segregation is being taught in Academia as a way to peace. Intersectionality, white privilege, etc. This is being drilled into the minds of grade school students. Kids who aren’t old enough to even contemplate the severity of racism. “Unconscious bias” LOL it’s unprovable, ignorant and racist. You’re right in a sense but not with the “communities”. If there was a mass influx of Brazilians to the US then a few “little Brazils” would pop up naturally.
