She's not wrong; in every instance I'm aware of there is no racism in communist countries because all minority races had been exterminated.

Can you provide 3 or 4 examples of these exterminated minority ethnic groups that no longer exist?

OK exterminated might be a bit extreme, though mass killings and forced removal from their countries is commonplace: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_communist_regimes

This applies to most takeovers by despots.

Strangely, when Orange Hitler took over, there were no mass killings in the US ... odd.

This is interesting.

I'm unfamiliar with this history.

Please, do tell.

The links are in Finnish because Russians basically jail everyone who tries to make research about people killed in Stalin's purges. The first 3 links are about Kola peninsula Finns.

Other genocides were cultural, and it still means e.g. vepsläižed, inkeroin, and other karelians in Russia exist only in theory. Latvian finns were killed during imperial Russia era.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_genocide is three ethnic groups plus the cambodians themselves which makes me get a four of a kind. LOL

The Khmer Rouge were equal opportunity murderers.
It was whomever was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Anyone/everyone.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_genocide

Target.
Cambodia's previous military and political leadership, business leaders, journalists, students, doctors, lawyers, Buddhists, Chams, Muslims, Chinese Cambodians, Christians, intellectuals, Vietnamese Cambodians

0/4

If the target is e.g. Buddhists it doesn't mean that whomever was in the wrong place was Buddhist. It means targeting somebody because Buddhist. Which is the very definition of genocide.
