In some parts of the world there are people who believe that only members of a specific ethnic group should be allowed to live in that location. The term "ethnic cleansing" arose during the wars in the late 20th century following the breakup of the nation of Yugoslavia. Croatians wanted certain areas to be reserved for Croatians only, Serbs wanted certain areas reserved for Serbs only, and so forth. If an unwanted ethnic group were to be (very insultingly) regarded as some kind of dirt, then the removal of those people (either by killing them or just by driving them away) would be metaphorically considered to be a kind of cleansing.
