Pan-ethnic segregation refers to a form of segregation based on ethnicity or race that cuts across multiple ethnic groups or races. It occurs when people belonging to different ethnicities or races are segregated from each other, regardless of their specific ethnic or racial background. This can be seen in societies where various ethnic groups or races are collectively segregated and face discrimination or separation based on their shared non-dominant identity. Pan-ethnic segregation can occur in different contexts, such as housing, education, employment, or public spaces. It is often the result of institutional structures and societal attitudes that perpetuate and reinforce divisions among different ethnic or racial groups. Addressing pan-ethnic segregation requires efforts to promote inclusivity, equal rights, and social cohesion among all ethnic or racial communities.
