I've actually been struck in the opposite way.

Isn't that interesting! I grew up in a small town in New Jersey. My mother was originally from a small town in Pennsylvania and I spent a lot of time there in the summer. In both places I found Eastern Europeans all mixed together but separate from other groups. It may have been because that's the way the churches were organized. In my hometown there were two Catholic churches, one the Slovak church which was populated as well by other Eastern Europeans, and the Irish church, which was more than half Italian. In addition, of course, there were separate neighborhoods for other groups. I just assumed it was that way all over. Perhaps in larger metropolises, where there were more people, there was more segregation.
