What point are you actually trying to make? Because I promise you "it's not technically a genocide" is not a winning argument.
The point is that genocide is a word that has meaning.
Genocide is a terrible, terrible thing. When people start calling everything genocide, when it isn't genocide, it cheapens the word. It is the same moral as the Boy Who Cried Wolf. If people cry genocide at things that are not genocide, when a real genocide happens and people rightfully call it genocide, no one will believe them.
As
has pointed out, people have already done this with the word Nazi and that no longer has any meaning. Everyone who you don't like is a Nazi.
This is common sense.
