The Indians were certainly treated as second-class citizens, but they were not rounded up and executed. You'd have more of an argument with Spain vis-a-vis Aztecs, but that was more "accidental" genocide.
The example of Turks/Armenians is a good one, but sadly I don't know enough about that to know how organized and purposeful it was. Otherwise, I am still aware of only 2 examples of purposeful extermination (not subjugation, discrimination, enslavement, occupation, etc) of a race of people - Jews in WW 2 and Tutsis in Rwanda.
I can read what you're saying now. You've turned to the level of organization behind the genocide. But that's not what you said at the start, which is what I was responding to. If you can't understand that, seeing as I quoted what you wrote like three times, then I really have nothing left to say.

You've moved on to nothing being as organized on a massive scale as the Holocaust, which I can't disagree with.

Jesus christ man, just because you change your direction it doesn't mean that I'm not reading the posts.
