I wasn't alive yet so don't freak out on me.
I need to analyze Speaker for the Dead and need to know if there was segregation at the time the novel was written

Legally, in the United States and most western European, there was no segregation. South Africa was still under Apartheid rule in 1986 and many lesser developed countries might have laws segregating certain parts of their populations. The Kurds have been kicked around as second-class citizens all over the Middle East.
Racism certainly existed all over the world in 1986 and is still around today.

There has always been racial segregation, even though its been unlawful since the Civil Rights Acts of the late 1960's. An example of modern segregation would be poor housing projects.

Segregation remains in some places to this day. Even where you may least suspect it.

Not that I am aware of. Unless you count separating whites and coloreds when you do the laundry.
