Segregation is the separation of racial or ethnic groups.
This allows the dominant group to maintain social distance from minorities.
Back when racial segregation was an overwhelming issue in America, everything
from public schools to bathrooms were segregated making blacks and whites keep
their distance from each other. The picture I have included is of the lunch
table map in Mean Girls. Although it is not segregating only racial and ethnic
groups, the segregation is clearly shown. Using group names such as “Preps”, “Jocks”,
“Asian Nerds”, “Cool Asians”, “Unfriendly Black Hotties”, and “Girls Who Eat
Their Feelings”. The cafeteria is nothing but segregation.
