If the majority of people think it's okay to kill off a specific subset of society, does that actually make it okay/good?

Worked up mobs make horrible decisions.

If some moneyed elites as well as associates that are high up in culture, science and similar decide to make a network based on enslavement, child molestation, human trafficking, rape, and torture, does that make it okay/good? Oh wait, that already actually happened.
Are you claiming that was a good thing? Your argument doesn't make any sense in the context given.

My entire point is some things are absolutely wrong, even if a majority of people would support it. Your point above does nothing to counter that argument.

The contrast is a between thing that really happened with a (so far) hypothetical.
