integrationist
Promotes racial mixing
An integrationist advocates for racial integration—the mixing of races in schools, housing, and public life.
The term emerged during the American civil rights movement as the opposite of segregationist: The integrationists pushed for desegregation of public schools.
It can also apply more broadly to anyone favoring the merging of separate groups or systems into a unified whole.
