Racism . Since race as a collection
of physical traits is not really a scientific concept, it's difficult to
distinguish between purely racial conflicts and all your other garden-variety
ethnic conflicts. Whether a conflict is racist or not seems to depend entirely
on whether the enemy originated just across the mountains or half a world away.
Generally, what people mean by racism is probably covered by
African Diaspora ,
Apartheid ,
Colonial Activities and
Indians .Railroads

Religious Conflicts (selected)
Generally speaking, in most of the following cases, religion is both the
stated cause of the killing and the only substantive difference between the two
opposing groups. Obviously, there would be many additional conflicts where
religion is just one of several divisions.
