Fringe segregation refers to the practice of excluding or separating individuals or groups based on characteristics that are considered unconventional, non-mainstream, or outside the norm. This can include discrimination based on factors such as beliefs, appearance, lifestyle choices, or social status.

Fringe segregation can manifest in various forms, including social exclusion, discrimination in employment or housing, hate crimes, and unequal access to resources and opportunities. This type of segregation often perpetuates stereotypes, reinforces social inequality, and hinders the integration and acceptance of diverse individuals and communities.

Efforts to combat fringe segregation typically involve promoting acceptance, inclusion, and diversity, challenging stereotypes and stigmas, and advocating for equal rights and opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their differences.
