Racist Policy
DEFINITION:
Any rule or law that creates or keeps inequity between racial groups.

These restrictions are called racial covenants. Racial covenants were racist agreements in property deeds that gave white people the power to prevent Black and Brown people as well as Italian people, Asian people, Polish people, and Jewish people, from living on and owning a piece of land.
