It is built on a foundation of prejudice and discrimination. While often used interchangeably, these concepts are not the same. <strong>Prejudice<\/strong> involves <em>a preconceived judgment or opinion of other people and races that leads to preferring one kind of person over another<\/em>. On the other hand, <strong>discrimination<\/strong> is defined as <em>unfair or differential treatment of individuals and groups based on race and ethnicity.<\/em> In essence, prejudice is what you think about someone, and discrimination is the action you take against them. Without question, groups that commit genocide are operating based on a certain opinion of their victims and are acting against them.<\/p>\n<p>If the two groups in question are equal in society, then the impact of prejudice and discrimination may be nullified. But rarely is genocide about equal groups. Typically, there is inequality with one side being part of the <strong>majority group<\/strong> <em>that controls the economic, social, and political power and resources<\/em>, and the other being part of the <strong>minority group<\/strong>, <em>with significantly less economic, social, and political power and resources<\/em>. Often <em>the majority group<\/em> <em>exploits society\u2019s minority group<\/em> in what is called <strong>internal colonialism<\/strong>. This involves treating the minority group unfairly economically, politically, and socially. In short, forcing members of the minority group to live in conditions below what the majority group would want for their people.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_108845\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-108845\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-108845 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/Rwanda-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"A collection of human skulls.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/Rwanda-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/Rwanda-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/Rwanda-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/Rwanda.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-108845\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A collection of human skulls from the Rwandan genocide at a museum in Rwanda.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Internal colonialism doesn&#8217;t just happen on a whim; <strong>institutional discrimination<\/strong>, <em>the use of social institutions to deny minority group members access to the benefits of society<\/em>, is required to make it happen. The majority group makes choices to ensure that its government and institutions discriminate against members of the minority group. This involves instituting laws to control such things as citizenship rights, employment access, freedom of movement, housing, land ownership, and voting rights. To reinforce the control of institutional discrimination, those in power typically resort to separating groups using <strong>apartheid<\/strong>, <em>policies, regulations, and laws implemented by a government to keep racial and ethnic groups separate<\/em>. For minority group members who live outside of the areas cordoned off for them, the majority group will force them to relocate in what is known as <strong>population transfer<\/strong>, <em>the involuntary relocation of a minority group by a dominant group<\/em>. This requires the victims to not just give up their homes and land but also their culture, heritage, traditions, and way of life.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_108846\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-108846\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-108846 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/United_Nations_7825811940-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"The flags of the United Nations boardering a walkway.\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/United_Nations_7825811940-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/United_Nations_7825811940-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/United_Nations_7825811940-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/03\/United_Nations_7825811940.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-108846\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flags at the United Nations.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It is important to remember that genocide isn\u2019t just about issues of <strong>race<\/strong>, <em>a socially constructed category of people based on real or perceived physical differences<\/em>, or <strong><em>ethnicity<\/em><\/strong><em>, social and cultural characteristics that separate one group of people from another<\/em>.
