I believe in places where the government didn't interfere in the US, those segregated communities melted into a pot much quicker than in areas where the government tried to force it. That said, as a general idea, I generally don't like the idea of measuring anything by race. Race is nothing. It's hair color. It's eye color. IF and WHERE there are differences, it's almost always because one group of people had some type of hardship that was forced on them for a time. Make equitable laws and create a meritocratic system that doesn't allow for the private oppression of a specific group of people, and the cultures will eventually merge.

I’m not sure what you mean by self-segregation I’m not familiar with that term. 

There was an argument for a while that private companies should have the right to refuse business to whoever they want on any grounds. I can’t argue against that so long as it is private business, However segregation wasn’t done from that standpoint here, it was public and private business that segregated blacks and whites. Caldrac referred to an old argument that desegregation set back race relations and was unjust. I disagree I think to have a true free society you have to have equal access and opportunity, that doesn’t mean equal outcomes that’s where the left gets it wrong.

The reality is the state is so intertwined in every aspect of daily life you’d be hard pressed to find a business not associated with some form of public support financially. If the business is publicly supported it has to be open equally to everyone.
