It's now pretty much accepted that in practice there is no difference.

In US history, "segregation" was effectively used as a code word by states that wanted to discriminate but also wanted to be able to say they weren't doing so. They claimed that blacks were "separate but equal" ... despite facilities meant specifically for the use of blacks being nearly always inferior to those meant specifically for the use of whites.
