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.
