Eugenics can be restricted to the non-spread of universally unwelcome genes, a.k.a. those that cause severe diseases and disorders. But since the term’s coiner was racist, it usually extends too far.
Okay, I had to think about that one for a minute… it’s not because of the big beefy guy that looked like Superman, but the black woman attached to his hip. LOL!! Nice.
Does eugenics count as a “philosphy” per se? I suppose it could be a philosophy of science (rather, pseudo-science), but it isn’t a study of the questions of existence, or knowledge.

At least it proves that racism is either not based on genes, or so incredibly deep rooted in them its hard to get rid of.

A standard joke in WW-II was that the Aryan was tall, slender, and blond – tall like Göbels, slender like Goring, and blond like Hitler.
