Cardinal segregation refers to the practice of separating individuals based on their perceived social or economic status, rather than their race or ethnicity. This form of segregation can occur in a variety of settings, such as schools, neighborhoods, or workplaces, where individuals are divided according to their income, education level, or other indicators of social standing. Cardinal segregation can lead to increased inequality and limited opportunities for those who are disadvantaged in terms of social status.
