Definition

Ethno nationalist segregation refers to the practice of separating or segregating people based on their ethnicity or nationality. This concept is rooted in the belief that different ethnic or national groups should live separately, maintain their own distinct cultural identities, and not mix or assimilate with others. It often involves policies or practices that restrict the movement or interaction of different ethnic or national groups within a society, such as separate housing or educational systems.

Ethno nationalist segregation can have various motivations, ranging from the desire to preserve cultural or ethnic purity to the belief in the superiority of one ethnic or national group over others. It can be a form of discrimination and can lead to social, economic, and political marginalization of certain groups.

It is important to note that ethno-nationalist segregation is controversial and widely criticized due to its potential to promote divisiveness, inequality, and conflict within societies. Many argue that fostering inclusivity, equality, and multiculturalism is a more preferable approach to building harmonious and diverse communities.
