Modern usage and examples

Diverse ethnic groups have suffered from similar targeted riots at various times and in different countries.

In the view of some historians,^[32] the mass violence and murder targeting Black people during the New York Draft Riots of 1863 can be defined as pogroms, though the word had not yet entered the English language at the time. The term "pogrom" is commonly used in the general context of riots against various ethnic groups.^{[citation needed]}

Other examples are:
