segregationist policies
Mandated racial separation
Segregationist policies are laws or institutional practices that enforce separation of people by race, ethnicity, or other characteristics.
The term most commonly refers to American Jim Crow laws that mandated separate facilities for Black and white citizens: segregationist policies kept schools divided until Brown v. Board of Education.
The adjective segregationist typically implies enforced rather than voluntary separation.
