Question

This passage is from the court's majority in the Plessy v. Ferguson decision in 1896:

We consider the underlying [error] of the plaintiff's argument to consist in the assumption that the enforced separation of the two races stamps the colored race with a badge of inferiority. If this be so, it is not by reason of anything found in the act, but solely because the colored race chooses to put that construction upon it.
