ethnic cleansing
: It refers to the act of forcibly excluding and exterminating a specific race or tribe
Many ethnic cleansing took place from ancient, medieval, and Renaissance to modern times. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, ethnic cleansing of religious persecution took place. Religious people who were contrary to the religion they pursued were deported from the state. Since the 20th century, there has been a period of violent ethnic cleansing. There have been incidents of anti-human cleansing, from mass killings to burning of residences.
Ethnic cleansing took place for a variety of reasons, including religious reasons, racial differences, or women and children. In the case of the Haiti massacre in 1804, few white people were left in Haiti by the end of the mass slaughter. The expulsion of the Crimean Tatars, one of the crimes of Soviet totalitarianism, was the expulsion of women, the elderly, and children.
In the past, there were many cases in which they regarded each other as hostile and discriminated against each other rather than the culture of understanding each other. Ethnic cleansing is an example. We should prevent such events from happening in the modern era when we have learned that it is no mistake. But even in modern times, examples of ethnic cleansing are happening. There are also countries where wars are still taking place in differences in other countries, since the recent U.S. police overdid a black young man to death. From ethnic cleansing, racism is still occurring directly or indirectly. There is discrimination against refugees, discrimination against multicultural families, and discrimination against foreigners. There are still many people who treat foreigners as discrimination in their own country. This culture is a culture that must be eliminated in order for everyone to develop and coexist as a community.
In fact, many people still have experience with racism. Among my friends, a friend who lives abroad said that even though he did not experience direct racism, he did not feel a sense of belonging as a community. Even in Korea, there did not seem to be a lot of atmosphere that understood foreigners as a member even if they did not discriminate or avoid them. I hope we can all understand each other and be considerate.
