Thanks for the Ping!
The Huguenots were the mainstay of the functioning of the State in France- the managers, accountants, and planners ( it’s that Protestant work ethic thing) many were highly trained trained gold and silversmiths, and other artisans. The massacre and the flight of the Huguenots are believed by many to be one of the underlying causes of the French Revolution.
Many Huguenots escaped and fled to the New World and to Russia, then to America. Carl Fabergé and Paul Revere come to mind.

Yes, we generally got the better Huguenots to America, however the ones who went to South Africa perpetuated apartheid and the ones who went to Prussia reinforced the Prussian militaristic regime which went on to perpetuate such atrocities as the Kulturkampf and the forcible re-organization of Germania into a Prussian influenced Germany that went on a straight Prussian trajectory up until 1945...

Of course note that in the first place the comparison of one religious group infiltrating France and ultimately attacking the dominant religious group's buildings and challenging the politics is exactly the same tactic whether H or M

Secondly, the various actions of those H's have no influence on the descendents of these folks -- just as no doubt most of us have the blood of various conquerors, defeated, tyrants, saints, sinners etc.

Thirdly, the actions of the H descendants in Prussia have no relation to the morality of descendants in America today -- these were 5th/6th or more distant cousins 4 - 5 times removed.
