This connotation is entirely your own reading. Both politically-motivated killings of the sort that may have occurred during the Cultural Revolution, and cultural cleansing no matter how destructive or how close in its goals to erasing any group's distinct cultural values or self-perceived "integrity" as people, are very clearly excluded from the most common definition of genocide as adopted by the United Nations. And while one could definitely make the case that the most rabid haters and vilifiers of so-called "whiteness" (not the same thing, strictly speaking, as "white privilege", which is part of a slightly less radical memeplex) are pursuing something practically indistinguishable from cultural cleansing as described above - and indeed, that this sort of hate and vilification is something we should be quite concerned about - that is, again, not genocide of any sort.
