Racial Laws

Racial laws are government policies or statutes that impose restrictions, privileges, or discrimination based on race or ethnicity. Historically, they have been used to enforce segregation, limit rights, or promote unequal treatment toward certain groups. These laws often reflect societal prejudices and can systematically oppress marginalized communities. While some were intended to maintain racial hierarchies, such laws are generally recognized today as unjust and violations of human rights, with many being repealed or abolished to promote equality and justice for all.
