Question

What is the difference between social accommodation and segregation?

		Social accommodation is based on federal regulation. Federal and state governments guarantee the separation of people based on race. In the era of Jim Crow, local and state laws, as well as federal cases like the Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), guaranteed racial segregation through law based on social norms and traditions. However, segregation is a social practice where people are determined and decide willingly to move into areas based on race to establish their community centers or neighborhoods.
		In social accommodation, people are forced to move into areas within cities, towns, or neighborhoods exclusivity for economic opportunities. On the contrary, segregation, through laws and social practices, guarantees the division of places for economic opportunities.
		In social accommodation, people are determined and decide willingly to move and establish themselves in areas based on race and economic status. They are following something that has been considered social norms, so they form their neighborhoods based on factors that meet the criteria of one particular group of people. On the other hand, segregation is something that is enforced by law. Segregation legally separates society based on race.
		Social accommodation forces people to create and establish neighborhoods based on labor and social status. But segregation legally separates people based on faith.
