How did Jim crow laws influence people's view of minorities?

Jim Crow laws institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination in the United States, reinforcing the idea of white supremacy and perpetuating negative stereotypes about minorities, particularly African Americans. These laws created an environment of inequality that dehumanized minority groups and justified their exclusion from various aspects of public life, such as education, employment, and voting. As a result, many people came to view minorities as inferior, which further entrenched social divisions and systemic racism in American society. This legacy continues to influence perceptions and attitudes toward minorities today.
