    They want it to eliminate phenotypes that are different…

    Normal people want it to eliminate negative genotypes that lead to genetic issues and lifetimes of suffering for future generations.

    Two completely different goals.

    They just fundamentally don’t understand genetics, like when you tell them there’s more genetic diversity within Africa than between every other population outside of Africa. They can’t see genes by looking at someone, but they can see phenotypes. So 9/10 a conservative will say “but they’re all Black”.

      An astonishing amount of racism is actually about sex and reproduction. Many racists are more threatened by “race mixing” than by the mere existence of other races.
