Actually, the UN explicitly says that forced cultural assimilation is not genocide[0]: > Cultural destruction does not suffice, nor does an intention to simply disperse a group.

It was invented to describe the Holocaust, and every event that is widely accepted as being a genocide has been an attempt to murder an entire group of people. 0. https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml
