Residential patterns are the basis for __________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Residential patterns refer to the physical separation of people based on where they live, and can result in de facto segregation - which occurs when segregation is not necessarily enforced by law but is a result of societal factors such as economic inequality, racial discrimination, or personal choice. De jure segregation, on the other hand, is segregation that is specifically required by law, and separate but equal judicial doctrine was a legal principle that upheld segregation policies. Affirmative-action policies are not directly related to residential patterns, although they may be used to combat the effects of segregation in employment and education.
