The issue continues to make headlines in the wake of John Terry's domestic ban by the Football Association for using racist language towards Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand and abuse suffered by England under-21 players during a recent international in Serbia.
Wenger is fully behind the initiatives.
He said: "I feel it is important to happen at any moment.
"Racism or xenophobia or any other differences that can exist between people, for example different cultures – you have to always show respect for everybody and every culture and every human being, no matter where you come from and no matter when it is in the season.
"That is why I feel that what happened during the weekend is very sad."
Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey maintains players are all behind the campaigns.
The Wales international said: "We should all try to get together and try to get racism out of the game
"It is not a good thing that has happened lately, but it is not really for me to comment on.
"Nobody likes to see that, and personally I don't like to see that in the game. We all support that here."
