Scenarios about 'segregation'

Segregation refers to the systematic separation of people based on race, ethnicity, religion, or other characteristics, often enforced through laws, social norms, and violence. Throughout history, segregationist policies have been implemented in various societies, notably in the United States under Jim Crow laws and in South Africa under apartheid, creating profound social inequalities and restricting access to resources, education, and opportunities. In alternate history scenarios, different trajectories of segregation policies can dramatically alter social movements, demographic patterns, and international relations.
