It's just the times they grew up in. Some of the older folks grew up before the civil rights movement, when it was accepted to treat people different because of their skin color. However, these days schools are desegregated and people of different races can intermingle just about anywhere.

Side note, I've heard it mentioned before that churches are still the most segregated part of our present society, and it certainly seems that people tend to go to church with others of the same race. Any thoughts from anybody about this?

I don't kow much but just speculating maybe they grew up going to different churches and even though other things became where both would go they just kept going to the church that their past generations did. Like most children go to the church that they were raiised in. I think that eventually it will become less like that but it will take time not because of race but because of tradition.
