If there is an association with something related to the Rwanda genocide (are you thinking of "We regret to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed"?), that's your interpretation.

Yes, Prof. Amardeep, that's the Rwanda reference I was thinking of--isn't that a good interpretation, though, not a random one? Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. . . .

Good joke Melvin, but there is a fine line between dry and cruel.

We were incidental; we were vital; we were enemies; we were friends; we were disputed; we were uncounted. In a small country, we felt far away from you. In a small world, we felt far away from you. We were your people and not your people. We could not wait for you to remember us.

This evokes how it feels to be New Orleanian every August 29th. Puts me in mind of friend Mark's July the 4th, 2009. "I didn't leave America. America left me."

Please to stop complaining of all mistreatment as genocide.

The author can speak for herself, but I think it should be said -- she didn't use the word genocide here. If there is an association with something related to the Rwanda genocide (are you thinking of "We regret to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed"?), that's your interpretation.
