Definition
White racial segregation refers to the systematic separation or exclusion of individuals based on their race, specifically targeting individuals of white ethnic background. Historically, racial segregation has been more commonly associated with the oppression and marginalization of non-white races, particularly during the era of legally enforced segregation in the United States (1865-1968) known as Jim Crow. This system denied African Americans and other minority groups equal access to public facilities, education, housing, and employment opportunities.
While white racial segregation, as a widespread institutionalized practice, is not commonly encountered, there have been instances where white individuals or communities have voluntarily chosen to segregate themselves based on race, particularly in response to integration efforts. These instances, known as "white flight," have been observed in various parts of the world, including the United States, South Africa, and Australia.
It is important to note that discussing white racial segregation does not imply that the experiences and impacts of racial segregation on different racial and ethnic groups are equivalent. Historically, racial segregation has disproportionately affected non-white individuals, perpetuating systemic inequality and discrimination.
