===== Definition ===== 

Ethnic network segregation refers to the phenomenon where individuals from the same ethnic background tend to form social networks that are predominantly composed of others from the same ethnic group. This can lead to the isolation of certain ethnic communities and limit opportunities for members to interact with those from different backgrounds.

There are several factors that contribute to ethnic network segregation, including cultural preferences, language barriers, discrimination, and social norms. While it is natural for individuals to connect with others who share similar experiences and values, excessive segregation can lead to the marginalization of certain groups and hinder social cohesion and integration.

Efforts to address ethnic network segregation may involve promoting diversity and inclusion, providing opportunities for cross-cultural interactions, and challenging stereotypes and prejudices. Building diverse social networks can help create a more inclusive society and foster a greater sense of belonging and understanding among different ethnic groups.
