Human: Why did the Hutu people kill the Tutsi people in the genocide in Rwanda? Assistant: 
The Hutu people killed the Tutsi people because they were a different ethnic group. The Hutu people were primarily farmers and the Tutsi people were primarily cattle herders. The Tutsi people were also seen as being wealthier than the Hutu people, and the Hutu people felt that the Tutsi people were taking their jobs.
