Evidence

Categorization
- XREF: This structural-forces reading of genocide chimes with the vaultβs racialization-as-structure claims; structural intent complicates demands for a malicious intending subject. β connects to: Genocidal preparation hides intent behind euphemisms and manufactures fear of victims β Gregory H. Stanton, Ten Stages of Genocide, 5
- corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim β David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 262
