Correct political vocabulary

It is encouraging to see so many youth participating in spelling bees. My plea to you, young geniuses, is to help your politicians with their vocabulary! With that in mind let us help them define two words, "genocide" and "nepotism." Since you spelling champions are likely internet wizards also, what does a simple Google search reveal? "Genocide" is "the deliberate killing of a large group of people, esp. those of a particular ethnic group or nation." Examples could include what Hitler did to 6 million Jews in World War II and what the Pakistanis and their accomplices did to 3 million Bangladeshis towards the end of the Liberation War.
"Nepotism" according to Wikipedia is "favouritism granted to relatives regardless of merit." Can you bright geniuses think of any current examples of this?
