tutsi

Use of that language was a small part of the genocide of Tutsi by Hutu majority.

In minds of many Hutu, Tutsi did not deserve to live.

Cockroach was used to dehumanise Tutsi in Rawanda.

I thought the Tutsi were the tallest people.

While we're at it, let's not forget about the Armenian genocide (which Turkey still denies), and the recurring genocides in Africa (in particular the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda) in more recent history.

While oppression and discrimination before Euromaidan was below pain threshold, the Euromaidan brought to power the forces which were clearly intended and now, with the power of the state behind them, capable to perform another tutsi-hutu situation.

In Rwanda, the colonialists arbitrarily split the population into Hutus and Tutsi "ethnicities" then showed favoritism to one group.

Some people don't care - its "them" being targeted (jews, tutsi, immigrants), not "us".

During a discussion about the Rwandan genocide, you would not say, "I guess the Tutsi found out that invading a nation and assassinating its president is a pretty bad idea" unless you supported the Rwandan genocide, during which the actions of a small Tutsi rebel group were used to justify slaughtering hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians.

One thing that stuck with me was her comment that while everyone is capable of greatness and kindness, they also have the capability of becoming a "monster." She cited the experience of one of her Rwandan contacts, who later became the Minister of Justice and was one of the senior government officials responsible for driving the genocide of hundreds of thousands of members of the Tutsi minority in the mid-1990s.

Or in Rwanda in 1994, communicating with Tutsi's may have given rise to suspicion that you were a Tutsi.

From an analytical standpoint, the crime is best understood as an ethnic conflict, just as Palestinian-versus-Jewish or Jewish-versus-Palestinian violence or Hutu-versus-Tutsi violence or Whites-lynching-blacks are all best understood as ethnic conflicts.

And that's ignoring the larger wars, that are usually between ethnicities, like the Hutu-Tutsi conflict.
