Editing New christian segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

New Christian segregation refers to persecutions and discrimination promoted against Jews converted to Catholicism, namely New Christians, by the Catholic Inquisition. This form of segregation occurred mainly in Portugal and Spain between the 15th and 19th centuries, as the inquisition expelled the Jewish population of both reigns. Those who couldn't leave were forced to be baptised and got called New Christians in opposition to the Old Christians, those whose families were recognised as Catholics for several generations.
New Christians refers to a religious group that was persecuted and discriminated, but does not define an ethnicity since in the period converted Jews were no longer considered Jews, in opposition to persecutions in later centuries, when judaism was not only a religion but a nationality, an ethnicity, etc.
