Definition

Offline ethnic segregation refers to the separation of individuals based on their ethnic or racial background in physical spaces such as neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, or public facilities. This segregation can occur through informal social practices, institutional policies, or government-enforced laws that restrict certain ethnic groups from accessing the same resources and opportunities as others. Offline ethnic segregation can lead to increased social and economic disparities, as well as a lack of cultural exchange and understanding between different ethnic groups. Efforts to promote integration and diversity can help combat offline ethnic segregation and create more inclusive communities.
