I don't know if it ever was labeled a genocide, but Sri Lanka has a long history of Buddhist lead attacks against Tamils and other minorities.

Fair enough. Seems like the common thread is religion + government = atrocities
The common thread is groups of people = atrocities. Religion and government are two common properties that emerge from groups of people, but there are also countless examples of atrocities that involve neither.
Centralized power + sentient beings who occasionally produce sociopaths = atrocities.
This is why no one person should have so much unilateral power.
