What is Genocide by Assimilation?

Answer 1

Genocide by assimilation is happening right now in many places from very diverse countries all around the globe.
It is much worse than other types of genocides because most of time natives are not conscious of it, so they can't react, and yes, it is a genocide, because one group of humans with their culture and history, is being exterminated by another group. It is much more used that other genocides right now, because some things changed a lot in the past 100 years, while other didn't.

Answer 2

It is what happened to the Frisian people in Germany. They used to be a distinct culture with their own language (related to Dutch and English), but during the first half of the C20th the German government policy was to assimilate and make them all into proper Germans.

I wouldn't call it genocide. But the purpose of assimilation is to make another people dissappear by removing their culture and language.

Answer 3

Cultural genocide refers to the deliberate destruction of the cultural heritage of a people or nation for political, military, religious, ideological, ethnical, or racial reasons. Therefore creating assimilation.

Answer 4

It is a process by which a culture is exterminated not by killing its members, but by forcing the entire group to forget its culture and assimilate into another. That way, in two generations or so, the old culture is completely destroyed. This is remarkably rare. Actually, I can't think of any instance in which is has actually happened.

Answer 5

It is the destruction of a race by miscogenization, or mixing it until it disappears. But that isn't genocide in the classical sense. There is nothing wrong with it.
