This problem is especially acute in the world of football: football fans often initially show a strong aggression towards the members of the opposing team, and if it consists of representatives of other races, it can lead to serious skirmishes with both fans of the other team and its players in time of football matches and after them. That is why the International Football Federation of FIFA annually struggles with the manifestation of racism, arranging special actions and flash mobs for establishing friendship between representatives of different countries and cultures.

Tip 2: What separates apartheid from racism and nationalism
The issue of racial and national differences in alltimes occupied the minds of many people, but its decision took a variety of forms: from restrained nationalism to aggressive racism and the policy of apartheid.
Ideology and view of the world
Nationalism in the traditional sense isan ideology that states that the nation is the most valuable in the state, since it is the highest level of unification of society. In nationalism of this type there is nothing wrong, because it only pursues the goal of forming a strong state based on the unity of the nation, the priority of its interests, the value of its history and culture. Unfortunately, in modern language the notion of "nationalism" is increasingly confused with chauvinism or xenophobia , which are characterized by an aggressive attitude towards the representatives of other nations. In fact, intolerance towards other nationalities is not at all an indispensable sign of nationalism. While nationalism is an ideology, racism is more a worldview, the main feature of which is the idea of the superiority of one race over others. This superiority may relate to cultural development, intellectual or physical abilities of members of the race, moral values and moral standards. A characteristic feature of racism is the assertion that the races of people were originally divided into higher and lower races.The policy of apartheid
As for apartheid, then, unlike the twoprevious concepts, this word is not called an abstract ideology or a set of views, but specific actions that took place in the territory of South Africa in the period from 1948 to 1994. The term "apartheid" in translation from one of the African languages means "separation". This was the name of a set of measures to create a system for the separation of white and black inhabitants of the country, adopted by the Government of South Africa. During apartheid, the indigenous population of South Africa was forcibly transferred to reservations, the total size of which was only 30% of the territory originally occupied by blacks. The rest of the country was to belong to the representatives of the white race. However, the policy of apartheid was not limited to the creation of reservations. Many laws were adopted that somehow infringed upon the rights of black people, for example, the law on the prohibition of mixed marriages, the law on education, the law on the provision of separate services and even a provision that officially permitted discrimination on the basis of race in employment. The United Nations for many years waged a struggle against the government of South Africa, trying to persuade him to abandon the policy of apartheid, but it was not until 1994 that he managed to do this under the influence of numerous sanctions and changes in world trends.Tip 3: What is genocide?
Genocide is the total or partial destruction of individualgroups of the population on national, racial, religious or ethnic grounds. This is an international crime, a flagrant violation of human rights. Unlike racism or fascism, the crimes of genocide include actions that caused very serious damage to a certain ethnic group with regard to life, health or the continuation of the family.
