Ethnic segregation and racial segregation are extremely similar if not the same. Your ethnicity is your exact genetic line, while your race is mostly seen to be slightly more broad. Some see only White, Black or Hispanic as far as race, but they are wrong. While race in most peoples eyes is limited to the tone of your skin, it really is much deeper than that. So really race is a bit of a more broad description , while your ethnicity is what defines your background exactly.

Here is a way in which confusion can come into play..... I am Italian. My friend is Spanish, my other friend is English. Now to the most of the world My English friend and I are considered "White". But how true is that? My Spanish friend is "Latino", which in essence means that your root language is derived from Latin, but then so is Italian. So why is being Italian not considered Latino? No one can really answer that question, except that in some way Latinos got lumped into a category that really was incorrect. because French would also be considered Latino, but their not. Ethnicity is more reliable. Most recently there has been a clarification into the whole Latino thing. Most forms have switched to Hispanic, in any event I think it leads either to favouritism or discrimination, so I really have a problem with the whole thing. but there's your answer.
