What is "ethnic cleansing" and why is it so controversial?
Ethnic cleansing, the attempt to create ethnically homogeneous geographic areas through the deportation or forcible displacement of persons belonging to particular ethnic groups. Ethnic cleansing sometimes involves the removal of all physical vestiges of the targeted group through the destruction of monuments, cemeteries, and houses of worship ("Ethnic cleansing," n.d.).
The term ethnic cleansing, a literal translation of the Serbo-Croatian phrase etnicko ciscenje, was widely employed in the 1990s to describe

Essentially, this term can be defined as ‘an additional cost incurred for being a member of a minority ethnic group’ (Lamptey, 2014). Thus, for the purpose of my essay, I will discuss how ethnic penalties influence the aforementioned aspects of life, but moreover, how they are aided by mechanisms of discrimination, socio-economic class, ethnic segregation and occupational segregation.

Racism is a developed set of attitudes that include antagonism based on the supposed superiority of one group or on the supposed inferiority of another group, premised solely on skin colour or race. Some authors suggest that racism and White racism may be synonymous. Defining bigotry as a primarily White problem does disservice in two ways. It ignores the fact that racist attitudes can breed in any ethnic group and it undermines the expressed goals of this decade's most promising solution - multicultural education.Australia has much to contribute to this process.

On the other hand, in militaries where the fate of soldiers and officers is connected to the regime because of ethnic ties, they have an extra incentive to defend the government. While the regime might experience defections from the group that does not receive preferential treatment, a majority of those connected to the regime will stay loyal.

Firstly, what is the monetary value of the lost opportunity and suffering of a displaced and enslaved people group? A world in which no African slaves were taken to the Americas would be a world in which African-Americans as an ethnic group would not exist. It is therefore impossible to measure how much was truly lost in that event, and what its monetary equivalent would really be. A proponent of reparations may argue that an exact monetary value is irrelevant, but one author and activist, Richard F. America, takes a more practical approach in his book The Wealth of Races.
