In addition there can also be auto-genocides like what took place in Cambodia where it was a class of individuals that was targeted rather than an outside racial group. Try researching Lempkin, he was the man that created the term, it should give you a place to start.

Genocide refers to an attempt to wipe out a particular race or nationality of people by killing them. That's where the "Geno" comes from--as in genetics as in particular races. The classic example, of course, was Hitler's attempt to kill all Jews and other races he hated, notably Gypsies, but in common useage, the term has broadened from its original definition to also include people who might not be genetically connected but who are of the same nationality, religious group, or other human societal unit.
