I'm referring to the term "ethnic cleansing;" though the practice probably dates back to before mankind stood erect, that specific term first came along--at least in the general zeitgeist--in the 1980s, so it wasn't heard in QUATERMASS AND THE PIT (TV version 1958, movie 1967). Also, that's not really what's going on in that story. Ethnicity either has nothing to do with it, or a radically different definition of "ethnicity" has to be used.
