Donald Trump’s statements echo eugenics; a pseudoscience hailing from the early 20th century, falsely linking genetics to social issues like crime and poverty.
The legacy of eugenics, supported by some scientists in the past, has led to severe consequences such as forced sterilization and contributed to Nazi ideologies.
Despite eugenics being discredited, its language persists in society, influencing psychological terms and racial classifications that continue to segregate and stigmatize.
Expressions of hate towards immigrants not only resonate with eugenic rhetoric but also reflect a broader societal denial of the complexity of social issues.
