What is De facto segregation?

What will be an ideal response?


Varies. De facto segregation is racial separation and inequality that appears, on the surface, to result from voluntary choice. It is often a disguised form of de jure segregation. Under de facto segregation, no public laws mandate racial separation. Thus, people often assume that de facto segregation just happened as people and groups made decisions about where to live and work; or that it resulted from some tendency of people to be with their "own kind."
