Examples of Segregation

Answer 1

There are two types of segregation. The first type is called de jure segregation. De jure means segregation because of a law, mandate, or forced reason. Examples of this are aparthied, and different schools for different races. The other type is de facto. De facto is because its how we're wired. It's like blacks sitting on one side, and Hispanics on the other side of a room, just because those are their friends. It is not forced. Examples of this are dating people only in your race, and Little Haiti or Chinatown.

Answer 2

This answer will cover racial segregation that was a problem in the United States and to some extent may still exist. In the period prior to the US Civil War, US Northern States that did not have slavery, still did not give Afro-American free men the right to vote or hold any type of public office. Thus we have in the 19th century racial segregation that did not grant civil rights to former slaves. Of course the same held true in the US's Southern States that did have slavery. Any freed slave in the South had the same denial of civil rights as did the North.

As US history moved along and away from slavery, segregation by race still existed. More so in the US South than elsewhere and it took its form in segregating Blacks from Whites in restaurants, public transportation, professional sports and in the educational systems in the US. The US Government for the most part did not take any real actions to remedy this until the 1950's. These are a few examples of racial segregation.

In India

Currently in India, there is segregation based on religion. In the Hindu religion there are different levels or ranks. The lowest rank in Hinduism is called the "Untouchables". Indians born into this level of Hinduism cannot attend schools or have jobs of Hindu's in higher ranks. They cannot marry anyone but another Untouchable. There are about 250 million untouchables in India.

I gave two examples of segregation and I did not intend to point out India as the only country that has segregation by religion. Also, racial segregation in very quiet forms exists in many nations world wide. I used two examples I am familiar with.
