Racism is the process of making judgments based on race.  Racism is making broad generalizations about a group of people based on percieved notions, (see [[prejudice]]) and then making such generalizations part of society. An example is notions of black inferiority being manifested in the form of Jim Crow laws (see [[discrimination]]). As of recent, racism has come to mean the hatred of another person because of the color of his or her skin, or perceived difference in origin.  The doctrine of [[substantive due process]] in United States constitutional law can be used to invalidate racist laws.  Alternately, the equal protection clause of the [[Fourteenth Amendment]] can be used to do the same.  ''See e.g.'' Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954).
