Segregation is the institutional separation of an ethnic, racial, religious, or  other minority group from the dominant majority.

Answer 2

Apartheid was a system of discrimination and racial segregation laws that were legally enforced in South Africa from 1948 to 1991. In general, apartheid can be divided into two types: petty apartheid (segregation in public places) and grand apartheid (where housing and employment were determined by race).

Segregation, or racial segregation, is the separation of people into ethnic or racial groups. It often applied to everyday activities such as using a public toilet or water fountain, going to school or to the movies, riding on a bus, eating in a restaurant, renting a hotel, or purchasing a home. Segregation was practiced all throughout human history and across many cultures.
