There are many different forms of cultural separatism, 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 separatism is merely a form of Christian Separatism, like the [[Boers|Calvinist Boers]] and [[paleoconservatives]].

Very similar to cultural separatism, 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 separatists can be ragarded partially as racial separatists, since an ethnic group always consists of people from the same race.
