European colonizers molded their society and institutions to benefit themselves, not others. This often involved the use of systemic racism to justify their actions against Indigenous peoples. They constructed ideologies that claimed European superiority, viewing Indigenous people as "inferior," "savage," or "primitive." This belief in racial superiority not only served to dehumanize Indigenous populations but also provided a moral and legal justification for violence, displacement, and exploitation.
The systemic racism manifest in laws, cultural narratives, and policies facilitated land seizure, forced assimilation, and the suppression of Indigenous cultures. It also created social and economic systems that privileged colonizers while marginalizing Indigenous populations. Thus, systemic racism played a crucial role in legitimizing the cruelty and inhumane treatment that Indigenous peoples faced during the era of European colonization.
