I think making this clustering about race is too simplistic. Its about language, religion, food, values, culture. People like to be in familiar environments. Especially after moving to another country. Because of that its natural to end up with clusters of people sharing something in common even when there was no outside pressure. I’m now lived in three countries for a longer period of time and its interesting to feel this connection with people from back home even though you never met them before.

I genuinely enjoy travelling and working in other countries and meeting new people. I also fully understand that sometimes it's just plain nice to be able to have a full conversation in English, not have to continuously explain cultural context, and enjoy my lunchtime cheeseburger while talking with another American. There's room for both experiences.
