People also have a tendency to divide into subgroups and isolate from each other. It's a step in the right direction and better than no community at all. But it can breed resentment and even violence. That's a common problem of community centres here.
If we constantly tell people that their primary defining characteristic is their race, or their sexuality, or their nationality, and we tell them that those people are the only ones who can truly get them, then it’s no surprise this results in a culture of isolating into little demographic groups.
Heck, or political beliefs. People should agree to disagree more nowadays.
