The term "race extermination" is a disturbing phrase that refers to the genocide or systematic killing of a particular ethnic or racial group. Synonyms for this phrase include ethnic cleansing, genocide, mass murder, holocaust, annihilation, and purging. These terms are often used in discussions about historical events such as the Holocaust during World War II or the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Unfortunately, the use of these terms has become more prevalent in recent years with news of ongoing conflicts such as the persecution of the Rohingya in Myanmar and the Uighur Muslims in China. It is important to use accurate and appropriate language when discussing such grave injustices.
