Daeltheria wrote:Genocide is defined as, "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group". However, this isn't a large number of killings. This is instead Ethnocide which is defined as, "the deliberate and systematic destruction of the culture of an ethnic group."

What definition are you reading? The UN's Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide pretty explicitly says you can have genocide without directly killing anyone. Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com also have no such stipulation.

Cultural genocide, sure. But not genocide in the holocaust sense.
