How about instead you try to distinguish between a Tutsi and a Hutu, or a Serb vs a Croat? Because in both cases wars of mass murder have recently been fought over those differences.

Both of your examples are people who even 1000 years ago were considered the same. Tutsi and Hutu differ based on essentially their social class and profession(pastoralist vs farmer), and for Serb and Croat their religion.

Is your stance in life that, if some information has been used in the past for bad purposes, we must pretend like it doesn't exist so those bad things don't happen again?
