  • Afrophobia, Afroscepticism, or Anti-African sentiment is a perceived or actual prejudice, hostility, discrimination, or racism towards people and cultures of Africa and the African diaspora. Prejudice against Africans and people of African descent has a long history, dating back to the Atlantic slave trade. In the United States, it was manifested in the form of Jim Crow laws and segregated housing, schools, and public facilities. In South Africa, it was manifested in the form of the apartheid system. In recent years, there has been a rise in Afrophobic hate speech and violence in Europe and the United States. This has been attributed to a number of factors, including the growth of the African diaspora in these regions, the increase in refugees and migrants from Africa, and the rise of far-right and populist political parties. In October 2017, the United Nations General Assembly held a high-level meeting on combating Afrophobia, with a view to adopting a resolution to address the issue. (en)
  • Afrofobi är rasism som riktar sig mot människor med bakgrund i subsahariska Afrika och som tillhör den afrikanska diasporan. Afrofobi kan ta sig olika uttryck, som verbala kränkningar, fysiska angrepp, uteslutning från specifika sammanhang eller systematisk rasdiskriminering inom exempelvis arbets- och bostadsmarknaden. Begreppet används bland annat av FN. Det används också av EU, till exempel genom att de anordnade Hearing on Afrophobia och att har publicerat rapporter på ämnet. Även Sveriges statsminister har använt begreppet afrofobi genom att prata om den rasism afrosvenskar utsätts för. Idag finns det ca 180 000 afrosvenskar, varav 60% uppges vara utlandsfödda och 40% födda i Sverige. (sv)
