What is the physical and social separation of the races?

The physical and social separation of races, often referred to as racial segregation, involves the enforced separation of different racial groups in various aspects of life, including housing, education, and public facilities. This separation can manifest through laws, policies, or social practices that create unequal access to resources and opportunities based on race. Historically, this has led to systemic inequalities, discrimination, and social tensions, as marginalized groups are often denied basic rights and privileges enjoyed by more dominant racial groups. Racial segregation has significant long-term effects on societal cohesion and individual well-being.
