Discrimination to do with skin colour dates back to when whites, blacks and everything inbetween first made contact with each other. Possibly the first act of skin colour discrimination was Christopher Columbus bringing back a few native American Indians and enslaved them. From then on when the white conquistadores travelled to America they brought home black men and sold them as slaves. This was socially acceptable back then and was institutionalised by schools, water fountains and cinemas being segregated.
