===== Definition ===== 

Puerto Rican segregation refers to the historical and ongoing practice of racial segregation and discrimination against Puerto Ricans, both on the island of Puerto Rico and in mainland United States. This segregation has taken various forms, including housing discrimination, job discrimination, and unequal access to resources and opportunities.

In Puerto Rico, segregation has been primarily based on social class and economic status, with wealthier and whiter Puerto Ricans often living in more affluent areas and having better access to education and employment opportunities. This has led to a cycle of poverty and inequality for many Puerto Ricans who are marginalized and excluded from economic and social advancement.

In the United States, Puerto Ricans have also faced segregation and discrimination, particularly in urban areas where they have settled in large numbers. This has included housing discrimination, restricted access to quality education and healthcare, and limited economic opportunities. Additionally, Puerto Ricans have often been subject to stereotypes and prejudice based on their ethnicity and language.

Efforts to combat Puerto Rican segregation have included advocacy for policies that promote equal opportunity and access to resources, as well as community organizing and educational initiatives aimed at raising awareness about the impact of segregation on Puerto Rican communities. However, the effects of historical segregation continue to be felt by many Puerto Ricans today, highlighting the need for ongoing efforts to address systemic inequalities and promote social justice.
