Default Re: Eugenics

[ QUOTE ]
tuskegee goes to ethics, and it was a racial thing which is the basis of eugenics (kill nonwhites and inferior whites, in a nutshell).

eugenics isn't necessarily racist and racism isn't necessarily eugenic. most of the eugenics laws that existed in the 1900s were not race based, but targeted alcoholics, the "feeble-minded", sex offenders and carriers of genetic disease. many eugenics supporters were racist though, certainly.
