=== Cultural Separatism ===

There are many different forms of cutural seperatism, however all aims towards the same goal: preserving a certain [[Ethnic Group|ethnic/cultural group's]] culture. These groups desire seperateness from other ethnic groups and races. In some cases cultural seperatism is merely a form of Christian Seperatism, like the [[Boers|Calvinist Boers]] and [[paleoconservatives]].

=== Racial Seperatism ===

=== Racial Separatism ===

Very similar to cultural seperatism, although here the emphises falls on race and not culture. While cultural seperatists desire their ethnicity to be protected against all other cultures, regardless of race, racial seperatists seek to preserve a the purity of a specific race, which may consist of many ethnicities. It should be noted, however, that cultural seperatists can be ragarded partially as racial seperatists, since an ethnic group always consists of people from the same race.
