The UN definition of genocide.

>"any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part ; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

Genocide can have many practical benefits for a state.

Why bother fighting guerrillas when you can simply wipe out the entire population in a region?

If you want to loot people's possessions, but don't want to upset the entire population, why not find a convenient division between minority and the majority and claim that is the reason? If you can do that, why not enslave them as well? Killing off any who consume more than they produce of course.
