Abstract

[Eugenics is a form of racism that masquerades as science. Science has repeatedly demonstrated that the concept of race is a destructive myth. Catastrophically flawed as such a perspective may be, new generations of advocates persist in trying to breathe life into age-old eugenicist superstitions. Legitimate scientific organizations, such as the US Census Bureau and the American Sociological Association, have perpetuated eugenicist irrationality by unscientifically conflating race and ethnicity. Responsible scientists should embrace the American Anthropological Associations more rational treatment of race and take all necessary steps to destroy the myth of race here and now. Full stop.]
