Editing Multiethnic spatial segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Multi-ethnic segregation refers to the separation or isolation of different ethnic groups within a particular society or community. It occurs when individuals or groups of different ethnicities voluntarily or involuntarily reside in separate areas, attend different schools, participate in different activities, or have limited social interaction with one another.

This type of segregation can lead to various negative consequences, including the perpetuation of stereotypes, discrimination, and unequal opportunities for individuals belonging to certain ethnic groups. It can also contribute to the formation of ethnic enclaves, where particular ethnic groups concentrate in specific areas and have limited integration with the larger society.

Multi-ethnic segregation often occurs as a result of historical, social, economic, and political factors, including discriminatory practices, socioeconomic disparities, and cultural differences. In some cases, it may be a consequence of deliberate policies or systemic racism that limits the opportunities and mobility of certain ethnic groups.

Efforts to address and reduce multi-ethnic segregation usually involve promoting inclusive policies, fostering social integration, improving access to education and employment opportunities, and challenging discriminatory attitudes and practices. These efforts aim to create inclusive communities where individuals of different ethnic backgrounds have equal opportunities and can live and interact with one another harmoniously.
