Ethnic minority segregation refers to the separation or isolation of minority groups, such as racial or ethnic groups, from the majority population in a society. This can occur in various contexts, including residential neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and social interactions. Segregation can lead to social, economic, and political disparities between minority and majority groups, as well as reinforce stereotypes and prejudices. Efforts to address ethnic minority segregation often involve promoting integration, diversity, and inclusion in various aspects of society.
