To be honest I work at a multi-specialty clinic and I see children playing in the waiting area quite frequently. We see patients from a very wide range of ethnic groups and the children if they gravitate towards eachother in any way it tends to be more age related than anything. Of course you would have to factor in that as most clinics only have so many toys to occupy kids time they have to share the coloring tables and the play equipment if they are going to use it at all. It would be a rather limited observation.
