Throughout history, many groups of people have been persecuted and the reasons for their persecution have been very varied so this question can't be answered fully. However, here are some examples:

Jewish people (people who worship Judaism) are often persecuted and more famous examples of this in modern history are the 'Great Purges' from the USSR under Joseph Stalin and the 'Final Solution' in Germany under Adolf Hitler in the 1930/1940s. However, many Jewish people are still discriminated against for their religious beliefs and, in many Arabic countries, Jewish people can sometimes be seen as hostile (due to the Arab-Israeli conflict).

The African American Civil Rights Movement was a highly publicised series of events in the USA in which protests, both peaceful and violent, strikes, hunger strikes and sit-ins were organised with the aim of changing the American society's views on African American people. The result of this was a series of laws protecting the rights of African Americans and greater equality and inclusion in the USA's society.

In June 2011, South Sudan gained independence from Sudan to become its own country. This was following decades of genocide with the African people in the south of the country (in South Sudan) being very heavily persecuted by the Arabic people in the north (in Sudan).

These are just a few famous examples of persecution but persecution still plays a large part throughout the developing world and discrimination of some sort can be found almost anywhere you go. The reason for this is usually that people are not taught to accept people who are different to them. When this is included in the education system, the level of hatred often decreases. Also, a lack of understanding may also be an issue leading to discrimination.
