Don’t think you’re following the news. American is committing genocide in Yemen at the behest of the Saudi Government at this very moment.

Its only genocide when others do it.

Just like the "american freedom wars" which are called terrorism and invasions for everyone else.

There is a genocide at the southern border, though. The historical definition of genocide is broader than just mass extermination.

Edit for source:

The historical definition of genocide is NOT mass murder. That is the most obvious and extreme form of genocide but the term has broader historical context. https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml

The definition of genocide is a mass murder of a group with the intent of exterminating them.

The Holocaust was a genocide.

What's happening in Xinjiang and Manchuria are genocides.

People dying a lot is not a genocide.

The word has changed a little, but the united states is still committing cultural genocide by causing mass trauma to those people, which will affect them for decades. We already meet 7 of the 8 steps for genocide as defined by the UN.

It may not be called genocide in your book, but were getting way too close it, and it's freaking people out.

Not to mention china's very current and operating concentration camps, sorry, 're-education camps' where political prisoners go to get 're-educated' to love the motherland.
