“Ethnic food” is really what bugs me. WTF does that mean? Explain the cuisine please, I’m a foodie!

“Look in the ethnic foods isle for your matzo, dried seaweed, ghee and El Yuacteco.”

It’s basically the isle that could be labeled “packaged food for foodies”

This sort of imprecise, reductive othering illustrates what's problematic about the "ethnic foods" aisle (and "ethnic tensions").

Yeah I’d rather that stuff show up where it normally would. It’s just lazy to shove it all in an “ethnic” aisle.

Ok, so what was the holocaust?

Forced relocation? Mass killing? Both, and other things, so “cleansing”

Of who? Jews? Gypsies? Gays? Blacks? All of those, so not “religious” or “racial”. Instead, “ethnic”

Sadly, ethnic cleansing has happened repeatedly since (and before) then. It is the most precise, description that is not too narrow.

If we can’t name the crime, then how do we describe it or bring the guilty to justice?

The holocaust wasn’t an ethnic cleansing it was a genocide.

“Ethnic Cleansing” is when you force the ethnic Germans out of Kaliningrad (née Königsberg) and replace them with ethnic Russians. Genocide is when you round up the undesirables and systematically murder them.

My sincere advice is go learn a thing or two before commenting on topics like this again.
