Have you ever experienced or seen racism? Well the people in Rwanda have they have seen racism at its most gruesome point.In Rwanda there are two main cultural groups called the Hutu and the Tutsi. They were very peaceful with each other that they even intermarried and had children with each other,but tension increased between the two groups which lead up to the Hutu turning against the Tutsi and causing mass genocide.The president at the time was killed when his plane was shot down believed to be killed by a opposing group. Also the Hutu were jealous of the Tutsi wealth.When the president died mass murder occur ed Tutsi and moderate Hutu were also killed.Also a Militia was created called Interahamwe ,and encouraged people to kill Tutsi.This was one of the worst mass murders in the world
