The mass expulsion or killing of members from one ethnic or religious group in an area by those of another.
Imagine you're playing with two different sets of colored blocks - red and blue. If someone comes along and removes all the red blocks so only blue ones remain, that's similar to what happens during ethnic cleansing (though much more serious and harmful).
Genocide: Deliberate extermination of a racial or cultural group.
Segregation: Separation of people based on racial, ethnic, or other differences.
