Interesting.... You do realise, Anchovies, that during the 1930's its was the Eugenics Movement in America that taught the NAZIs everything they ever knew about scientific racism and selective breeding. A famous US Eugenicist of the era was a dude called, Madison Grant, who wrote a book called "The Passing of the Great Race" (the "Great Race" was what Grant called the "Nordic" (i.e. White, North-West European race)) This book was a smash-hit, number- one "best seller"; both the lay public, the then President, the American academy and the Yankee intelligencia praised it. Such was its fame, that the "The Passing of the Great Race" was read in Germany and ended up in the hot, little hands of one ,Herr Adolph Schicklegruber, (aka Adolph Hitler) who wrote Madison Grant a gushing, fan letter saying that he he kept "The Passing" one his bed-side table every night and the book "has become my Bible)
The Eugenics Movement in America was all about preserving the genetic purity of the self-evidently superior, American White, "Anglo-Saxon" ("Nordic") race. Native, White Americans of the 1920s and 1930s were terrified of the threat posed by a "rising tide of colour" (that is darkies, breeding with white women, and equally, diagnosed (or suspected) "morons" and "imbeciles" reproducing more of their kind ( the later were not common, pejorative terms in America during the era of the Eugenic's Movement, rather, they were official, psychiatric nomenclature in the US used to diagnose individuals with what "alienists" (the old name for "psychiatrists") referred to as the medical disorder of, "Mental Deficiency" (i.e. Mental Retardation).
The upshot of all this was that in many states of America (27 to 28, at least), miscegenation laws were passed prohibiting sexual congress between mixed (Black and White) American couples, including laws which mandated surgical sterilisation in particular cases, in order the prevent the pollution of the White genotype with Black genetic material. Also,sterilisation could bleakly performed to prevent mental defectives screwing each other and reproducing more of their kind ( congenital mental retardation was (rightly) known to be highly hereditable, indeed, Anchovies !). The last, legal eugenic sterilisation procedure carried out in America took place in the 1970s (!)
Just think, Anchovies, it was Whitey-Anglo, AMERICAN, scientific racists/eugenicists - not the NAZIS- who were the REAL "intellectual" architects of the Holocaust !!
So "Stick that in your pipe and smoke it," young man. It's an ugly truth that "dares not speak its name". Right, toodles ?
