You should see the race distribution in seating in our cafeteria.  We 
have an area called L.A. (Little Africa) where almost all of the 
black students sit.  The rest of the room is lily white.  Are there 
rules which force this?  No.  Is it "just the way it is?"  Yes.  If 
that how the social structure works, why should it be changed?
Just an observation.
