Genocide requires intention, the ginormous loss of life because of diseases is not, in a legal sense, a genocide. Not arguing that Europe colonizing the Americas wasn’t like a genocide, in some places it certainly was — but the people dying of disease is not a genocide, more like a mass-extinction event.

Probably not but a word like genocide shouldn’t be watered down, especially not if there are currently genocides happening intentionally in Palesta, Sudan and Xinjiang.
