What about in a predominately Asian college campus fellowship setting? How do we go about pursuing multiethnic?

Coming from Jacksonville, FL (USA) where the schools were sued by the NAACP for more than 30 years in order to be better integrated I am uncomfortable with the idea of necessary quotas. The quota system hurt Jacksonville because the schools were originally attended by the people who lived nearby, to mix them properly it was necessary for kids to spend an extra 30 - 40 minutes traveling down the highway. Instead of going to the school across the road they went to the one across town.
If people feel comfortable somwhere they are going to go there. Sometimes race is mixed with heritage and heritage influences a lot of our choices of community (which is what we find in a healthy church). Would it be necessary for us to focus evangelistic efforts only on people of other races until our stats improve?
I'n not sure this idea can be compared to achieving a quota. I liken it to churches offering multiple "worship" services to appeal to all audiences. It's the same thing.
While the authors want churches to fall below the 80% rule (80% of church attendees comprised of one race, culture, or ethnicity), I think the motivation is that Christians are unified by their oneness in Christ. Why is it then that we do not fellowship together and learn from one another?
I really doubt that Christ wants us "comfortable" in church anyway, does He?
I'm excited about this because recently my church (predominantly Causacian, including me) hired an African American senior pastor. It appears to me that he wants to follow this model and I look forward to this ride...

Dear webmaster,
This is Dave from Interracialmatch. I am the Marketing Manager. I am wondering if you have interest in running your own interracial dating site or work-at-home business. We would like to work with you setting it up.
You can pick the name for your own interracial dating site, own the domain and brand. ( If you happen to have an extra related domain, that would be great) We take care of all the backend and engineering work. Also customer service work. You can earn money if you can get users registering at your dating site. (if you already have your account, so it would be quite easy for us to get started right away.)
You don't have to worry that no one exists at your interracial dating site at the beginning. Your site will share hundreds of thousands of profiles with other interracial sites we have already set up. Your users can immediately contact hundreds of thousands of other users once they register at your dating site.
You can earn money if you have users registering at your site. It is easy to get users visiting your interracial dating site by doing the followings:
1. Invite friends, friends of your friends to visit your interracial dating site; 2. Write blogs on popular sites. Think about how to promote your dating site in smart way; 3. Create friend circle on some social networking sites to get to know more friends.; 4. Use business card, fly sheet to promote your dating site when joining social activities; etc.
If you are interested or having any other requirement and thinking, please feel free to let me know.
