Well, I'm not the one who made the original comment, but since you're feeling the need to get technical, I'll use your own definition against you...

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.

The Nazis didn't JUST kill Jews. They killed many people of many nationalities. According to your definition, that would not be considered a genocide either. It's just a massacre.
