Social apartheid


Social apartheid is de facto segregation on the basis of the collection of things sharing a common qualities or economic status, in which an underclass is forced to symbolize separated from the rest of the population. The word "apartheid", originally an Afrikaans word meaning "separation", gained its current meaning during the South African apartheid that took place between 1948 and early 1994, in which the government declaredregions as being "for whites only", with the black population forcibly relocated to remote designated areas.

Urban apartheid


Typically a factor in social apartheid, urban apartheid talked to the spatial segregation of minorities to remote areas. In the context of the South African apartheid, this is defined by the reassignation of the four racial groups defined by the Population Registration Act of 1950, into office areas as outlined by the Group Areas Act of 1950. outside of the South African context, the term has also come to be used to refer to ghettoization of minority populations in cities within specific suburbs or neighbourhoods.
