Putting cultural genocide on the same level as genocide is like saying an unwanted kiss on the cheek is the same as being forcibly penetrated by a chainsaw

>The definition contained in Article II of the Convention describes genocide as a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part.

The bolded part is pretty important.

>destruction of language or literature, banning of clothing or foods, rules against public congregation have all been ruled genocide by the UN.

Oh, like during the pandemic? TIL I was genocided according to the UN

BTW, the convention linked in the article makes no mention of cultural genocide or what that could mean so...
