The genocide was indeed possible IF the WWII will turn much bloodier and longer for US than it happened in OTL. But to make this happen, a rather radical change is needed. Like total axis victory over Soviet Union (which is less impossible compared to stronger pre-war Japan).
As POD, i propose the summer 1942 Japanese attack on Soviet Union. It may happen if some chancy (yet reliable) intelligence will reveal to Japanese the shittiness of Soviet defences of Siberia back in 1942. Plus some radical political changes are necessary in Japan to revoke the non-aggression pact with Soviet Union (coup d'etat, for example). As result, battle of Staligrad will turn into the quagmire of trench warfare in Volga-Akhtuba plain, the "Great Famine of 1943" in Soviet Union results in its internal collapse , German forces liberate Iran from Soviet-British occupation etc ...
In this case, German can join forces with Japanese in Pacific with some nasty results for US. The ultimate outcome will be a USA-led nuclear bombardment campaign throughout an Asia starting in 1947. By 1950, the Japanese people will be dispersed and genocide can theoretically commence.
As about long-term consequences of such horrendous scenario..i think it mean a total political chaos and a ruin for everybody, although to different degree. The 4 major states (USA, Soviet Union, Germany and Japan) will be weakened to the point what the new world dominating power can become New Zealand or Argentine for example.
