Spatial racecraft operates identically against Black Americans and Muslims through housing and congregation bans.

Evidence

The experience of spatial segregation of Black communities even in states and localities in which Jim Crow was not the law is well known. What is less well understood is that other groups, including Muslims, face similar discrimination with regard to property: being restricted from suburban spaces, housing, and community gatherings. … The first shared experience is that of being denied integration into majority white suburbs and facing violence when such attempts are made. The second shared experience is the prohibition against congregating. — Cyra Akila Choudhury, Racecraft and Identity in the Emergence…, 468
