ethnic integration
Diverse communities merging
Ethnic integration is the process of bringing different ethnic groups together within shared institutions, neighborhoods, schools, or social spaces.
The term usually implies reducing segregation and promoting interaction across ethnic boundaries: The city pursued ethnic integration through busing programs.
Integration may be voluntary or mandated by policy, and debates often center on whether it should be a goal versus allowing communities to develop organically.
