Redlining refers to the discriminatory practice where banks and insurance companies deny or limit financial services to residents in specific neighborhoods based on racial or ethnic composition, effectively marking those areas in red on maps. This practice has led to systemic disinvestment in minority communities, perpetuating cycles of poverty and segregation while also contributing to broader issues of racial discrimination and housing inequality.
