I wasn't saying if I thought that counts as genocide. My point is that holding up the British as morally superior doesn't make sense. There was really nothing out of the ordinary with what Germany did in its colonies... it was the general European attitude back in the day.

If you're referring to the Herero Wars, they actually were unusual.

Yes, a mostly-successful attempt to wipe out an entire ethnic group (men, women, and children alike) was not standard operating procedure in the colonies in 1906.
