ghettoizes
Confines to margins
Ghettoizes means to isolate or confine a group to a ghetto, or more broadly, to segregate or marginalize.
The term usually carries critical weight, suggesting forced separation or systemic neglect: Housing policy ghettoized minority populations for decades.
It extends beyond physical space to describe any relegation to inferior status: The curriculum ghettoizes women's contributions to a single chapter.
