People are sometimes persecuted for belonging to a certain ethnic group (jews are not only a religion but also an ethnic group; also negroes, other non-whites in many countries), other minorities or majorities (e.g., homosexuals, women, etc.). Basically, anybody who is "different" from what a group in power considers the norm.
