Irish Potato Famine: Genocide at hands of British Government?

I would like to help you, but I would argue that it was genocide. The potato blight of course was not the fault of the English. However, England's response to it was their fault, and it was genocide. England would not allow the wheat that was grown in Ireland to stay in Ireland, they exported it. The English allowed villages to starve to death. Ships that sailed to America and Canada were called "coffin ships" because so many Irish died en-route. The English did nothing to stop the suffering of the Irish. Was this deliberate on the part of the English, I believe it was. The Irish were viewed by the English as dirt. It should be noted that in 2009 when we use the word "race" it refers to whether you are white, black or asian. The English referred to the Irish as another "race" quite inferior to the English. Based on all this, I can't agree that it was not genocide by the British.
