This doesn’t happen, btw.
I’ve been to “diverse” institutions all my life. Went to a “diverse” college for my bachelor’s and another one for my master’s.
What happens is social balkanization. The Nigerians hung out with the Nigerians. The Chinese with the Chinese. Indians with the Indians and so on.
This kumbaya bullshit is just fantasy, and it is self-evident. Every ethnic group automatically congregates with its own (save for whites, of course).
What actually happens at scale is the formation of colonies of a foreign ethnic group. There is a reason Tower Hamlets is essentially Little Bangladesh and Toronto has become so Indian.

I remember thinking the Chinese were the worst of them all in this regard.
You literally couldn’t talk to the Chinese kids. They ONLY ever spoke Chinese if they weren’t in class, ONLY ever talked to other Chinese kids, and never bothered making any friends from anywhere other than China.
It was off-putting to me at the time, to say the least. At least with other ethnic friend groups you could have a conversation even if you were never admitted into their circle.
Looking back now after learning about how the Chinese do espionage it makes more sense.
