Latino-white segregation refers to the social and spatial separation of Latino and white individuals in residential areas, schools, workplaces, and other social settings. This segregation can be a result of historical patterns of discrimination and exclusion, as well as contemporary social and economic factors.

Segregation can lead to disparities in access to resources and opportunities for Latino individuals, including education, employment, healthcare, and other social services. It can also contribute to the perpetuation of stereotypes and prejudices against Latino communities.

Efforts to address Latino-white segregation often involve policies and programs that promote diversity, inclusivity, and equal access to opportunities for all individuals, regardless of race or ethnicity. These efforts may include affordable housing initiatives, school desegregation programs, anti-discrimination laws, and community development projects aimed at promoting integration and social cohesion.
