Legally or socially authorized rights and powers given to white Americans but denied to all other races is most often the basis for racist behavior in the United States. The White people in the United States were the rich and affluent people who were given some important rights that made them different from the Black or other immigrant people. Racism is actually a theory that believes in the superiority of one particular race over the others, which often occurs in prejudice and discrimination towards people on the basis of their race and ethnicity. Thus, in America the basis of racist behavior was sectioned by the State.
