Which "we" is responsible? The individual schools? Parents? Students? And can you describe how it's a problem that some schools are racially homogenous? Given the same academic standards, a school with low minority enrollment will try harder to get a minority student than a school with high minority enrollment.
So you're sort of positing this Maxwell's Demon of Segregation: even though public policy and public statements all draw minority students (of a given level of ability) into situations with fewer minorities (by, e.g., lowering admissions standards, offering them scholarships), minorities still end up segregating. Some collective "we" is responsible (presumably in a way that requires this "we" to pay a little money to somebody else's "us"). But there are many missing pieces to the puzzle.
