i studied this
have you watched hotel rwanda!?
the rwanda genocide is about how they killed each other over appearance

they divided themselves (based on nose size and skin colour) and killed each other
watching the movie i could hardly tell the difference between there appearances!
they called each other the hutus and the tutsis

since there were so many dead in such little time, they dug up a big hole and buried all the bodies together rather then seperate graves

another genocide example was hitler
killing people with dark hair dark eyes
or who was jewish etc
and kept people with blonde hair blue eyes
