First time in Germany and Integrating yourself with others

Hello I am 19 m. This is my first time in Germany and i am still trying to find a room, but I have noticed that some people don't want tenants of our origin due to cooking smells, and I see similar things from our side as well where some people have told me to avoid living with Asians due to their eating habits.

Now I understand that to some extent, everyone has their rights and wants, but I don´t really understand why Pakistanis only live and interact with "Desi".

I am a practicing Muslim but I don´t see things like pork and raw meat as disgusting, its just cultural isn't it. And I wouldn't be doing a lot of avoiding if I didn't CHOOSE to be a Muslim I wouldn't have cared about what the cultural aspects are i would have done what I wanna do.

So this is my question, do you feel that living with other Non desis is just a No go, as i am being advised? To what extent would you integrate with other cultures? I see that many Pakistanis, even non practicing just choosing not to integrate themselves.

Also if you have leads for room in Munich pls let me know.
