The practice of separating people spatially or socially on the basis of race or ethnicity is referred to as segregation. Racial segregation is the systematic separation of people into racial or other ethnic groups in everyday life. Racial segregation can be considered an international crime of apartheid and a crime against humanity under the statute of the International Criminal Court. Segregation may involve the spatial segregation of races and the forced use of different institutions, such as schools and hospitals, by people of different races.
Specifically, racial segregation may apply to activities such as eating in restaurants, drinking from water fountains, using public restrooms, attending schools, going to the movies, riding the bus, renting or buying a house, or renting a hotel room. Additionally, segregation often allowed close contact between members of different racial or ethnic groups in hierarchical situations, such as allowing a person of one race to work as a servant for a member of another race.
