CJ, try and follow along.

Less gave a definition of genocide who's standard included intent and action, but not scale.

That means if you only kill a few people, but you had the intent on killing or eliminating an entire race or people group, you are guilty of genocide.

That means any Native who killed white people with the intent of driving all of the white man off of their lands should be guilty of "genocide."

But that's nonsense, which is why I reject Less' definition.
So? How does it make what the US did not genocide?
If you have such a low standard of "genocide" that it can apply to anything, then the very term loses its meaning. A double-standard is even worse, as it seems you and Less are practicing.

Hence neither of you can say the US committed genocide, because neither of you has any meaningful standard of judgement.
