True

Explanation:

The noun "diaspora" has its roots in ancient Greek language and it means "dispersion". As a word with a wide meaning it can be used to refer to the movement of huge masses of people from any site in the world for different reasons.

One on the first diasporas documented in the Bible was that of the Jews who escaped from Egypt. Later on, when the Jews escaped from Nazi Europe.

But movements of huge amounts of people from their homelands has become more known since the 20th century especially through media.

As a consequence, we should use it as a compound; jewish diaspora, armenian diaspora, african diaspora, etc.
