Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Belgians believed that the Tutsis were superior due to their physical features such as taller height and narrower facial features. This belief led them to give the Tutsis power over the Hutus, even though the two groups had coexisted for centuries and had mostly functioned in a symbiotic relationship. The Tutsis were seen as more "civilized" and "European" and were supported by the Belgians through policies such as ethnic identity cards that further divided the two groups.
