    It’s about the intent

    the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group

    That’s still a large number of people, and we don’t have to wait until it’s a significant percentage of them to call it a genocide. Make up your own word if you mean something else, this is genocide (successful or not and the extent of it is left to be seen).
