The phrase “annihilation or attempted annihilation” is exactly what genocide describes, because it centers on intent to destroy a group of people based on their identity. Ethnocide refers to eroding a group’s cultural identity rather than its physical destruction. Assimilation is the process by which a minority group adopts the dominant culture, often losing distinctiveness. Segregation is the enforced separation of groups, not necessarily aimed at destroying them.
