Etniline ja rassiline eraldatus on üsna levinud probleem mitmel pool maailmas ning liigagi sageli kohtame vastuseisu lõimumisele koolis. Seega väärivad sellisest suhtumisest erinevad juhtumid erilist tähelepanu, eriti olukordades, kus kogukonnad on elanud ranges eraldatuses juba mitmete põlvkondade vältel. Eestis, kus nõukogude ajajärgul ühiskonnas domineerinud venekeelne vähemus õppis harva ära kohaliku keele, pööras 1991. aasta taasiseseisvumine etnilise võimustruktuuri pahupidi ja asetas enamiku venekeelsetest elanikest olukorda, kus nende ainsa riigikeele – eesti keele – oskus oli kas vähene või olematu.
