it is insane to me how many people who have never studied biology but supposedly went to school for something that should have steered them away from scientific racism or biological determinism are totally willing to embrace those ideas based on nothing but how their own farts smell.
as someone who took a lot of biology, including scientific disciplines that have a direct historic association with eugenics (domestic animal genetics), it is infuriating to watch an idiot say only incorrect things and make the most racist conclusions based on things they imagine as true, completely eliding how social institutions factor heavily into social outcomes.
