This chapter grapples with the absence of the concept of racial capitalism in European constitutionalism in spite of centuries of racial subordination in European colonies abroad and discrimination towards ethnic minorities at home. The rise of the European Economic Community in the late 1950s is often portrayed by scholars as a means to correct the legacies of racial and gender subordination that culminated with the Holocaust and the Second World War. Purportedly, the European Community seized the opportunity to start anew with a modernist and quasi-federal constitutional project inspired by the United States and its progressive Warren Court. However, by bracketing the dark sides of US federalism and building bridges across the Atlantic to construct European constitutionalism, prominent scholars such as Eric Stein, Mauro Cappelletti, and Joseph H. Weiler dismissed how the jurisprudence of the US Supreme Court over time protected the legal entitlements of slaveowners, businesses, and states at the expense of slaves, workers, women, and children. This selective reception of US constitutionalism, which portrayed law only as a tool of emancipation rather than oppression, has obscured the embeddedness of racial capitalism in the European political economy.
