petty apartheid
Petty apartheid refers to the segregation of public facilities, spaces, and services on racial lines, enforced by the Apartheid government in South Africa for the purpose of maintaining control over the non-white population. It includes laws and practices such as separate beaches, buses, schools, and even smaller-scale amenities such as park benches or restrooms for different racial groups. The term 'petty' does not denote insignificance, but rather differentiates these everyday segregation laws from 'grand apartheid', which involved larger-scale policies like land dispossession and forced removals.
