I'm not a retarded failed abortion of a grammar nazi like Uthgaard is, you don't have to worry about being judged on grammatical correctness. There's a lot wrong with this statement, but you can be forgiven.

What you're saying is something like this: ****** is pejorative while holocaust isn't and therefore the comparison is invalid. Like I said before, if the name were explicitly "Jewish Genocide" it would still be inappropriate, even though "Jewish Genocide" is not explicitly pejorative. Therefore, whether or not a term is pejorative is irrelevant to the criteria. If a significant portion of the population considers the two to be synonyms, the name "Holocaust" is not appropriate either for the same reason. That's why the comparison was used.
