I gave you the step to find the top level, world-wide definition in Google. You say there are other definitions. Ok let's check the Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_segregation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_segregation "Segregation itself is defined by the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance as "the act by which a (natural or legal) person separates other persons" If people separate, or group, themselves according to their own desires then that is not segregation according to Google and according to the Wiki which sites at least the "European Commission against Racism and Intolerance". You may disagree with me but I've provided two worldwide known references both in agreement with each other and with me. The use of the word segregation was wrong by the original author and wrong by HN for posting it that way.
