The term 'segregated group' carries significant historical weight in both American and Brazilian contexts. In the USA, it primarily refers to the Jim Crow era and systemic racial segregation. In Brazil, while de jure segregation was less formalized than in the USA, de facto segregation exists through socioeconomic and racial divisions, particularly visible in favelas and neighborhood separation. The term is commonly used in academic, legal, and social justice discussions in both countries.
