Answer:

Making discrimination a legal thing.

Explanation:

Laws that enforce discrimination are based in prejudices about race, gender, nationality or religion. These laws make discrimination a legal thing.

For example, Jim Crow Laws, such as from Alabama, 1930. It stated “It shall be unlawful for a negro and white person to play together or in company with each other in any game of cards or dice, dominoes or checkers.”
