Genocide means wiping out a race or group of people. Do you know what the Holocaust was?

Uhm...oh wait, we learned that in History! Wasn't that when some bad guys from Germany killed a whole bunch of people 'cause they had a different religion or something?

...that's a really bad thing. I don't think it's even very nice to joke about something like that, even in a meme.

It's when Hitler and the Nazis wanted to exterminate the Jews, so they sent them to concentration camps to kill and torture them. Gays, polish people and gypsies were also sent to the concentration camps by the Nazis. That's genocide. And it's not the only incidence of it in history.

Well, most funny humor isn't very nice, unfortunately.

I don't think it's funny at ALL. People shouldn't be hurt just 'cause of where they come from or what they believe.

That's why I don't like History much. There's too many sad stories... plus I'm not really good at remembering everything.

No, they shouldn't be. But just because someone jokes about something doesn't mean they support it or would do it themselves. Someone can joke about genocide and still think genocide is very bad in practice.

Perhaps it's sadder to know they're all true, too, hm? History's important, though.

Mm...I still don't like the joke, though. I wouldn't do that to Mello-sempai. How would genocide work on one person, anyways? @.@

Yeah...but there's good stories too! History just seems to focus on the bad ones sometimes...maybe so we can learn from our mistakes eventually and not do bad things like that again.
