Racism: A Short History - Introduction - Princeton University
INTRODUCTIONThe term racism is often used in a loose and unre-flective way to describe the hostile or negative feel-ings of one ethnic group or people toward an-other and the actions resulting from such attitudes. Butsometimes the antipathy of one group toward another isexpressed and acted upon with a single-mindedness andbrutality that go far beyond the group-centered prejudiceand snobbery that seem to constitute an almost universalhuman failing. Hitler invoked racist theories to justify hisgenocidal treatment of European Jewry, as did white su-premacists in the American South to explain why Jim Crowlaws were needed to keep whites and blacks separated climax of the History of racism came in the twenti-eth century in the rise and fall of what I will call overtlyracist regimes.
