===== Definition ===== 

Stereotype based segregation occurs when individuals or groups are treated differently or kept separate based on preconceived notions or beliefs about their characteristics or qualities. This can lead to discrimination, bias, and prejudice in social, economic, and political spheres.

Stereotype based segregation can manifest in various ways, such as:

- Housing discrimination: Some communities may exclude certain groups or individuals based on stereotypes about their race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status.
- Employment discrimination: Employers may unfairly treat or avoid hiring individuals based on stereotypes about their gender, age, or abilities.
- Educational segregation: Students may be tracked or segregated into different classes or schools based on stereotypes about their academic abilities, race, or socioeconomic status.
- Social segregation: Certain groups may be excluded or marginalized in social settings or institutions based on stereotypes about their cultural practices or beliefs.

Overall, stereotype based segregation perpetuates inequality and division within society, as it reinforces harmful assumptions and prejudices about individuals or groups. It is important to challenge and address stereotypes in order to promote diversity, inclusion, and equity for all.
