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|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). Racism can be used to further a cause against groups, such as singling out religious people as those ''fundamentalists''. Or Muslim men preventing women from education or receiving medical attention.
