Racism in the United States

systematized form of oppression by one race against another in the US

Racism in the United States has been reflected in discriminatory laws, practices, and actions (including violence) against racial or ethnic groups since the colonial era, when European Americans were given legally or socially sanctioned privileges and rights denied to other races or minorities. Major racially and ethnically structured institutions include slavery, segregation, Native American reservations, Native American boarding schools, immigration and naturalization law, and internment camps.
