No problem if that's what it was.
Unfortunately, it doesn't meet even that standard. Pogrom is an organized crime. What happened in Gujarat was riots. Stop pretending that only Whites are civilized while the rest of the world is barbaric.
Huh? Nobody is saying anything of the kind. Pogroms are something that white people have clearly committed--whether or not the term applies to the actions we're discussing in India, it definitely applies to Russia, and to specific crimes committed by people who are generally classified as white--and I don't think anyone is claiming that pogroms are evidence of civilization.
