Certainly the witcher world (much like the real one) has a great number of scumbags that are not a ganger or a warrior but instead a common every day person. But it is simply impossible for each and every one of the civilians to be guilty of something at least major enough to warrant slaughter. Many of the game's quests feature people that not only are truly innocent, but actually show signs of altruism. Also, a pogrom as you put it, is by definition indiscriminate mass purging of people due to their specific heritage or descent and only due to that. By that logic, every side human or not, has proven themselves wholly guilty. The issue is that technically no side is a saint, and a large number of people from every side who have nothing to do with it pay the price.
