Genocide is defined as "the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group"


Racism is the belief that there are inherent differences in people's traits and capacities that are entirely due to their race, however defined, and that, as a consequence, justify the different treatment of those people, both socially and legally. Moreover, racism is the practice of the different treatment of certain a group or groups


Race is classification of humans into large and distinct populations or groups by factors such as heritable phenotypic characteristics or geographic ancestry, but also often influenced by and correlated with traits such as appearance, culture, ethnicity, and socio-economic status.

By definition, yes, genocide is a form of racism.

I don't think Narks is to be taken seriously, Lysergic.

Of course I have, Hotel Rwanda was an inspiring movie.
If he was being serious, then why does the poll have "Procyon likes men" as an option, and moreover THE MOST VOTES.

Quite clearly you have no knowledge of Procyon's preference of sex.
