The differences and names where given by the colonizing country "Britain" the difference was the size of the noses (measured by a apparatus) the skin color as well as the eye color. Members of the same family would be separated by this made up notion......example: my husband who has light eyes but a large nose would not be forced into a Hutu's lifestyle....and I would be forced into a Tutsi lifestyle (no large nose or lips med brown)
The Tutsi were afforded jobs where as the Hutu's could only be farmers (85%)......when the colonizing country left......they left a hostile environment among the citizens which led to a revoke......the saddest history ever told of what colonizing can do the people............I will be forever bitter about what G.B.did to Rwanda and Africa as a whole....................................

truthfully, as a liberal myself i think of we would desire to continually by no capacity have long previous to conflict with Iraq...and if we pull accessible is truthfully no longer genocide. Genocide is whilst a huge team of the inhabitants are killed via the government eg. the Jews below the Nazi regime. what is going to ensue in Iraq is that it will descend into sectarian violence, which isn't an identical element in any respect. however the presence of British and American troops isn't combating this, so why ought to we go away our troops there to be shot at whilst they don't seem to be accomplishing something. Face it, the Bush/Blair administrations have made a bad mess and there is not any way human beings fixing it, so we'd besides pick the direction it somewhat is going to hold approximately the fewest deaths of our very own troops i.e. pull them out.

My dictionary
Hu.tu - - a member of the majority population group of the kingdoms W of Lake Victoria in E. Africa.
Tut.si - - a member of a tall statured traditionally pastoral people of the kingdoms of W. Lake Victoria in in E. Africa.
A ruling cast in these kingdoms and in the modern successors states of Rwanda until 1961 and Burundi until the present
I believe they are mostly muslims but I THINK it's like the sheiits & sunii with Christians in the mix . NOT much information in the news and the UN is in charge in Africa.
They are mostly useless and afraid of the radical muslims like the rest of the middle east.

tutsi are known for being tall and light skinned with a pointy nose, while hutus are short and dark skinned. they are just different ethnic groups.

The only difference between the two are the fact that they are different ethnic groups.
I am doing a report so I can provide you with some links if you need.
