Genocide? This is in fact what genocide looks like:

63. "People of that era had no qualms" about using the term "genocide"?

The Boer War was 1899 to 1902.

The term "genocide" was coined in 1944 by the writer Raphael Lempkin.

Please cite an instance of the term being used "by people of that era" -- that is 1899 to 1902 -- and I will stand corrected. Otherwise I don't see how their use of the term would even be possible.

Then too, one irony of trying to describe the Boer War in South Afirca as an instance of "genocide" is that the Afrikaners community, "the Boers," would go on to support Nazi Germany during World War II, and afterwards would institute apartheid--a term which they in fact coined. So it seems passing strange to me to see them described as victims of "genocide."

But yes, there has been and continues to be plenty of misery going around. As a species I don't these days hold out too much hope for humanity.
