Question

Is it genocide if they don't die, just suffer?

Donagan

Top Answerer

Although the suffix "cide" means "killing," genocide is sometimes defined as torture and dislocation, as opposed to murder only.

Question

What do I do if I suspect genocide?

Donagan

Top Answerer

A case of actual genocide would be witnessed by many people simultaneously. Raise the issue with other witnesses, and report what you know to police or government authorities.

Question

Does white genocide count as genocide?

Community Answer

"Genocide" means killing a large group of people, such as the genocide of Native Americans in the USA, or the Armenian genocide. White people are not being routinely targeted for massacre in the western world. That being said, white genocide is possible, and would absolutely count as genocide, but it is not currently occurring in the western world.

Question

Why would a couple of friends bullying someone be genocide?

Donagan

Top Answerer

It wouldn't. "Genocide" refers to bullying (or killing) a very large group of people. However, an instance of individual bullying might be seen as a warning sign of future genocide.
