multi cultural
The South African socio-legal system that institutionalized racial discrimination was known as "apartheid". An Afrikaans word meaning " to hold apart" (or, less literally, "separation"), apartheid maintained strict segregation between the white minority and all other races of South Africans
The government in South Africa made a policy of racial segregation against all people who were not white. As well as black indigent Africans, this involved any non-white races. This is called apartheid or a government policy of racial segregation. The man who led the people against the apartheid was Nelson Mandela.Read more: What_was_the_racial_segregation_in_South_Africa
Segregation is the separation of people into racial groups without reasonable justification on the basis of discrimination. Racial segregation is outlawed in the United States, but unfortunately it may still exist within social norms.

The word apartheid (a-par-tide) fits the definition above. This word is often linked to racial separation that existed in South Africa (and perhaps still exists to an extent today), but it can be applied to other examples.
The system of racial separation was started by the British after they won the Ango-Boer war in 1902. In 1948, Prime Minster of the new Republic of South Africa Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd and The South Africa government formalized it as the "system of independent/separate development" and it was later called "apartheid".
