While a lot of this is based on a very scant archaeological record, it's certainly possible that asians and europeans came to the Americas at various points in history.
As far as the genocide there are many better ways to put this in context. The Americas (like the rest of the world) was a land of violent savages prior to Europeans bringing enlightenment ideals to the continent. Most of the genocide was due purely to disease which was a happy accident form the European perspective but otherwise unpreventable. Beyond that the characterization of native american's as peaceful hunters is simply put inaccurate. They were a collection of warring tribes and slavers. The very concept of a "Native American" is just not accurate. It's lumping together countless tribes under one banner.
