    He said “by your definition this <other genocide> would not be considered one” (which it is).

    He’s not doing anything related to whataboutism, you clearly don’t know what it means. He’s presenting an argument for the definition and common usage of the word genocide. Try to follow

      I’m not in agreement with that either. I don’t agree that native Americans were involved in a genocide. I would imagine most people would agree with that. It’s a whatabout to me because it’s not even in a similar circumstance. If you look at actual examples of genocide it doesn’t look like native America or Gaza.
