In France there is a group of people called the Cagots. Which were a persecuted minority group. Basically untouchables. They were hated for centuries that people even forgot why they hated them and just hated them because that’s what everyone else did. The discrimination even persisted until the first half of the 20th century. The weird thing is the Cagots didn’t look any different from the other French and their cultural identity was basically the same as the other groups in the regions they lived. If it isn’t the Jews or the gays it’s just anyone else for reasons unknown.
