Discrimination is the belief that people can be accommodated in different breeds and varieties can thereby ranked as superior and inferior to one another. Be It can be applied than other measures in respect of other. The term discrimination is used in several meanings (racism in sports media). In most general sense discrimination means that members of particular race consider themselves inherently superior to members of another race. In debates on discrimination, however, often involve confusion about the exact meaning of this term.

Many use discrimination in general as an indication of xenophobia (fear of foreigners) or ethnocentrism. Scientists attempt to precisely delineate the other hand, the latter notions of discrimination as an ideology of scientific discrimination. Although the term discrimination usually a negative charge and is used in connection with race-related bias, violence, discrimination, or suppression, there are also other possible descriptions.

After the fall of communism, there was a resurgence of anti-Semitic groups like the Pamyat. Persons with a Mediterranean or Arabic appearance as 'blacks' or even 'Black Butts' marked and they have to deal with racial harassment. The racial segregation in South Africa existed after the Second World War, institutionalized in form of apartheid. The population of South Africa was divided into four main groups and each got their own residential areas.

The black majority of population did not vote. Apartheid was officially abolished in 1990 and in 1994 Nelson Mandela became the first black president of South Africa. On the other hand, there is also radical black anti-white discrimination, as in 'Shoot the Boer' controversy. Between 1904 and 1907 the German colonial conducted an extermination policy against the Herero- and Nama peoples. Namibia was from 1915 under South African rule.

Between 1965 and 1979, Rhodesia had a white minority regime under Ian Smith. The majority black population was not represented in government. In 1980 Robert Mugabe came to power in Zimbabwe. Initially the whites involved in government of Zimbabwe were land of white farmers were expropriated large scale after 2000.

Already in ancient times many peoples were ethnocentric, they considered other peoples as barbarians, but more cultural than racial grounds. Religious-cultural elements were Semitism as revived in Spain in 15th century, mixed with racial elements. From the 17th century some European theologians distinguished a hierarchy in which the white man was closest to God; underneath the black, the monkey etc.

For many 18th- and 19th-century slave traders were these ideas to justify their actions. 'Natural Science' racial theories arose in 19th century, including elaboration of specific insights from evolutionary theory. It was thought that certain breeds have a natural right to a higher position and threatened to weaken by mixing the supposedly superior white race with other races and to perish.
