The Hutu considered the Tutsi animals and vermin. This is a very important stage in the Rwanda Genocide because the dehumanization of the Tutsi made it easier for the Hutu to kill them. This stage was mostly done through media, or more specifically, the radio. The Hutu were dehumanized to trees and cockroaches. The Hutu would broadcast codes like "cut down the tall trees" to signal the killing of the Tutsi.

The Rwanda genocide was one of the biggest polarization in action.  In the beginning of the Tutsi slaughter, the Hutu extremists used propaganda and radio messages to spur hate on different ethnic groups and used signals in order to communicate with each other and initiate killings.

Originally Rwanda was divided between different groups as Tutsi and Hutu based on social class but when the Belgians colonized Rwanda they furthered the divide between the 2 groups. When Rwanda gained independence and the Belgians left the country, this classification was till put in place. Even though the Tutsis and the Hutus share the same religion and are of the same ethnic group, they were treated differently because of the Belgians.
