Slavery was a commonplace practice all around the world for up until about 200 years ago. White Greeks were slaves. The Arab/Ottoman slave trades (made mostly of white captives) flourished during the 16-and-1700s.

More trivia: The Anglo-Saxons were prejudiced against the Normans.

However, I don't see how either fact affects the situation in the United States in 2016.
