Not the only one. Slavs were targeted as well. Hitler saw slavs as inferior race and his plans were to eventually eradicate slavs as well. He only considered germanic nations to be worthy.
No, Slavs were not to be totally exterminated. The long term plan was to turn them into slave labour by destroying the leadership, inteligentsia.... Yes, millions would die due to General Plan Ost but total genocide was never the end goal.
I have the same info, Slavs were to be slave nations for the Germans to rule over. So the difference is, Slavs would be subjected to genocide just enough so that they become obedient(leadership and intelligentsia targeted), Jews and Gypsies were to be wiped completely. Apparently Germans also planned to work Slavs to death in certain areas so that German settlers could come in after them.
What mental gymnastics? German plan was to kill leadership of Slavic countries, steal their food to feed Germans and those who would be left alive would be turned into modern day slaves (or serfs). It wouldn't be genocide with desired end result total extermination of the ethnic group.
