The colonists behaved brutally towards the indigenous, because they were convinced for their racial superiority. The Spaniards used slave labor of the indigenous for mining precious metals. The Portuguese colonists enslaved many thousands of indigenous people in order to use them in the sugar cane plantations in Brazil.

Which is the main cause of racism? The historical facts are being presented partially or being ignored by the political leadership, social and scientific institutions, and this feeds racism. The reason for this is the different interests (national, political, social, economic) of each nation.

It is no coincidence that in Washington there is a museum of the Jewish victims of the Holocaust even though America has not experienced crematoria but at the same time there is not a museum for the blacks.

Personalities who have struggled against racism Looking back we realized that the safeguarding of human rights even if they are violated was achieved thanks to the struggles of some people such as Mahatma Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mother Teresa, the less famous Rosa Parks who refused to give her seat to a white in the bus , as she should according to the law. This act was the cause of a movement of civil disobedience against apartheid, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Muhammad Ali and many others known and unknown, without the assistance of whom human rights would not have been enacted.

We firstly realized that all the people share the common need for food but we also realized that the diet of a nation depends on climatic and historical conditions and it is connected with customs and traditions.
