Uh, no.

Eugenics – meaning ‘good breeding’ – was coined in 1883 by Sir Francis Galton to describe ‘the science which deals with all influences which improve the inborn qualities of a race’. - Source

Don’t care for American Eagle. Wish Sydney the best though, and that the ‘registered Republican’ tag doesn’t hinder her acting momentum in any way because she’s on a roll with legit dramatic parts that prove she’s more than just a pretty face.

What I DO find APPALLING is the appropriation of “Eugenics” on the part of the woke left. Are you freakin kidding me? You mean you suddenly have a problem with the FOUNDING Ideology of PLANNED PARENTHOOD and ‘genetic inadequacy’ being pretty much the premise of most abortions and globalist sterilization campaigns in countries worldwide esp. the 3rd world?!?!

You beat me to it.

Don't forget the Buck vs Bell SCOTUS case, which allowed government sterilization of certain people. Oliver Wendell Holmes gave his famous quip, "Three generations of imbeciles are enough"!
