I thought the reason was social and psychological: we
associate with those who are of a type we know. Also of
course there are economic reasons (I meet very few
brown-colored people, so associating with them and becoming
friends, becomes difficult.) class-differences, the place
where one lives, dealing with the same social problems
(like racism)...

Don't know. I was wondering the same as I read Grigor's
post.
