In my opinion people segregate with people with similar social status. For example, I'm quite convinced that in most cases upper-middle class white English man will choose to interact with his "class-friend" who is black than interaction with Joe who is small-time drug dealer.

There is no such thing that whites don't segregate with blacks at all just because of skin color. They choose to don't do it just because of social status, and improving their conditions of living.

If you wan't to segregate you will segregate, but how will you avoid different races? You'll live in better neighbourhoods, streets etc. But what will happen if different races will reach at least your economical level? You'll move out to slums, just to live with your fellow man? If you'll do that than it means this became racial or you're an idiot and probably it's both.

To sum it up, I believe that most people believe in conformism. They'll do whatever it takes to put themselves in good and safe enviroment. In this case, segregation is not a racial thing but economical, and this for now takes it to the racial level for obvious reasons, most minorities, immigrants are quite poor.

Im talking about the opposite: be able to sell to one specific ethnic group or race. Or even buy a house and have the security that undesirable people will move to the same neighborhood.
The law (specially in the USA) dont let the Real Estate Agents give the security to the buyers that the neighborhood will not be flooded by undesirables (blacks, persons in parole, child molesters,etc).

I disagree with you, but that is another topic so i wont go off topic.

It's a private matter, how the system will check you if you'll sell houses just to whites?
It's a dead law.
