A quick definition of class-based animus:

Class-based animus refers to a negative attitude or prejudice towards a particular group of people who are protected by the law. This type of animus is an important factor in civil rights conspiracy cases. The term "animus" can also refer to a person's intention or purpose, such as the intention to steal, donate, or harm someone. Other Latin phrases using "animus" describe intentions related to inheritance, possession, and residency. "Annates" and "annats" are terms related to the historical practice of paying a portion of a church's income to the pope or other religious authority. An "annex" is something that is added or attached to something else, such as a document or a building addition.

A more thorough explanation:

Class-Based Animus

Class-Based Animus refers to a prejudicial disposition towards a particular group of people, usually a group that is constitutionally protected. It is a form of ill will or animosity towards a specific class of people.

For example, if a landlord refuses to rent an apartment to someone because of their race, that would be considered class-based animus. Similarly, if an employer refuses to hire someone because of their gender, that would also be class-based animus.

Class-Based Animus is an essential element of a civil-rights conspiracy case, as it involves discrimination against a protected class of people.

  • A restaurant owner refuses to serve customers who are of a certain race.
  • An employer refuses to hire someone because of their sexual orientation.
  • A landlord refuses to rent an apartment to someone because of their religion.

These examples illustrate how class-based animus can manifest in different forms of discrimination against protected classes of people.
