Reply #5: That was based on American Eugenics

imported from the U.S. Mainly our practice was "negative eugenics." Sterilizing people who experts deemed should not reproduce without their consent. It was also encouraged that people with good genes, the "nordic superior race," in our case should reproduce as much as possible.
Our anti-immigration laws were in place and practice long before that.
First we applied eugenics to disabled. It was all "legitimized" in the name of compassion.
Scientists made the claim that immigrants were more likely to pollute the gene pool with disease, thus should be kept out. We closed the ports.
We took it a step further and developed tests to help weed out undesirables based on "moral characteristics."
The final solution in the U.S. was using the science of "eugenics" for a full on attack on race.
It was then that they began to expand the marriage restriction laws that were in place for the disabled and immigrants to Blacks and Native Americans.
The history is chilling. There actually was talk of euthanasia for people with disabilities.

Henry Long, who maintained the Eugenics Records Office created a complex "pedigree catalogue system" that included a complex catalogueing system of Jewish people based on their regional origin.

There is also documentation of how leaders of the eugenics movement visited Europe. Our ideas caught on first in England, then in Germany. One member suggested that "Hitler was getting ahead of us."
