gen·o·cide [jen-uh-sahyd]
–noun the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.
By definition, genocide cannot be "indiscriminate." The human race does not qualify as a national, racial, political, or cultural group. It is such careless use of words that suppresses rational discussion and leads to nothing more than empty rhetoric.
