There is no subjectivity of the Armenian Genocide. It is a fact. The Armenian National Institute does discuss the causes of the Genocide in its FAQ, but you are free to look up the chronology and determine the cause for yourself. I need not speak any more on this issue. One thing though: Hitler did not blame Jews for losing World War II because World War II happened during the Jewish Holocaust. Hitler blamed the Jews of creating a tainted German state and blamed them for economic and social troubles.
You have Kurds in your government? Well, then how can you justify the United States government being racist when there are ~33 African Americans, ~68 women, and ~19 Hispanics in Congress? How can there be racism against Native Americans when Ben Nighthorse Campbell single-handedly created the Department of Indian Affairs? I'm telling you, if you find racism, you can find the same racism anywhere.
The Young Turks were not nationalist or racist? You haven't answered why the Armenian Genocide or the casualty intensive displacement of Kurds doesn't count as a racist policy. It may also surprise you to know that in the 20th centure the Ottoman empire was on its deathbed. Many of the Balkan states had been clamouring for independence, while those living inside the Ottoman empire (Armenians, Greeks) tended to mind their own business as Turkish citizens. The dilapidated mess of the empire had been consumed by radical ideas and actions. Cue Armenian Genocide.
You should know that the United States is not a liberal democracy. Every U.S. Government class teaches that the United States is a republic. Most American citizens do NOT want America to act like an imperialist power (This is why Bush's approval rating is ~35%). In a republic, its very clear that not everyone is equal. The point of the United States is not to make everyone equal, but to give everyone equal opportunity, and in such a multicultural society its almost impossible to do.
Also, understand that America is not pure capitalist. Programs such as the Social Security commission, Security Exchange Commission, Congress of Labor Organizations, Tennessee Valley Authority, FEMA, MediCare, and non-profit organizations such as the American Red Cross, UNICEF, and WWF are ALL examples of socialist programs. America protects its minority more than you think.
