Why have so many racially integrated churches failed?

I grew up in a racially integrated church. The church used to have a lot of members, over 1,000 per week. Now, they will be lucky if they get 50 people.

I was involved in a Racial Relations workshop which included 3 United Methodist churches. It seems that you have never experienced this.
I found it incredible and refreshing to see how others were raised in the church.
This has been put on by the United Methodist church and it was one of the most endearing parts of worship for me.

If a church must include politics it is not a church.if the pastor makes more than the Governor it is not a church. If ur needs government handouts it us not a church
It's how church attendance generally is going, but some churches are doing worse (the United Methodist Church in the US, for instance, which is imploding from three different problems, in my opinion).

Is this reduction seen in other sects and churches too? If so it could simply show a general dwindling in religious following.

Otherwise, is it its own clergy who are putting people off?

Don't worry, even Timothy's church didn't survive him after a few decades. Nothing at all to do with christianity nor integration

It had nothing to do with the racial mix. Most likely your church went full liberal and now stands for nothing.

I don’t think the racial part has anything to do with it. Churches are just failing now.
