Diversity not being a priority doesn't mean that segregation will happen all over again. Indeed, the end of state segregation back in the 60s had little to do with the establishment of diversity and multiculturalism as we think of it today.
Integration is not unconstitutional. However, state-sponsored racism, whether towards a minority or a majority, is (of course, such blanket statements will get me in trouble--the law is tricky on this one, as evidenced by the affirmative action debate). It really shouldn't be that scary that the Supreme Court is taking this case seriously, as there's been precedent for cases like this in the past.
