ethnic divide
Racial group separation
An ethnic divide is a social, political, or economic gap between different ethnic groups within a society.
The term implies separation along lines of heritage, culture, or ancestry—often marked by unequal access to resources, opportunity, or power: The ethnic divide in the region has deepened since independence.
Unlike divisions based purely on race or religion, ethnic divides involve distinct cultural identities that may share the same physical appearance or faith but differ in language, customs, or historical experience.
