Jim Crow laws discrimanated aganst blacks mostly, but Jews and other minorities were also subject to JIm Crow. Jim crow indirectly affected White people because they were not expected to associate with Blalck people, even if they had the desire to. Whites got better schools and other facilities than people labeled as colored. Really, Jim Crow affected all people in the South

Jim Crow laws institutionalized segregation and racism towards African Americans. All public institutions were segregated, including schools, colleges, hospitals, prisons, and even cemeteries. African Americans were barred from employment in certain jobs regardless of their qualifications and couldn't even gain access to certain stores.
