Abstract
Moving from the Equal Treatment of "Races" to the Prohibition of Racist Discrimination
It remains disconcerting that the prohibition of discrimination "because of one's race" guaranteed in the first sentence of Article 3(3) of the Basic Law has received so little attention in legal practice and jurisprudence for so long. This is obviously related to its paradoxical formulation, which at least suggests a division of humanity into "races", although this prohibition is actually intended to provide protection precisely against this. In jurisprudence, this has led to conceptions with a problematic, biological slant, and case law shows a remarkable uncertainty in dealing with this prohibition of discrimination. Replacing the concept of race with an explicit prohibition of racist discrimination, on the other hand, could create the conditions for an actual effective unfolding of the protection against discrimination. However, in order to be able to effectively counter structural racist discrimination, it would at the same time be necessary to create a constitutional guarantee and mandate to promote equal participation.
