Terrible shit like doing their own eugenics of sterilizing ‘unfit’ with an incredibly open definition of the word.

Specifically, by 1936 when both England and the U.S. genetic scientific communities finally condemned eugenical sterilization, over 60,000 forced sterilizations were already performed in the United States on mostly poor (and often African-American) people confined to mental hospitals.9,10 The practice of forced sterilizations for the “unfit” was almost unanimously supported by eugenicists. The American Eugenics Society had hoped, in time, to sterilize one-tenth of the U.S. population, or millions of Americans.

The only reason no one paid the price is everyone was looking over at the 6 million dead as 60k is just a drop in the bucket. They were after all, mainly going after POC. Which were defined as 1/5th of a human

So no. Not a leap.
