What other genocides do you know of that killed more than 10% of the world population?

1. That’s not my point 2. You should brush up on world history before trying to zing others https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_under_the_Mongol...
It wasn't an attempted zing, I was curious. So then, the genocide of the indigenous peoples of the Americas also would rank as "some of the most deadly acts of mass killing in human history."
Ok apologies for anti-zing then.

I agree. That kind of strengthens my point - I wouldn’t want to associate my heritage with that sort of thing (unless you’re in Mongolia where GK is still considered a god-like figure by many)
