The eugenics movement in America and Britain was scientifically nonsense but supported by leading academic institutions.

Well, for example, there was the eugenics movement in America and Britain and Western Europe where The claim was that the great gene pool of the Anglo-Saxon race was being diluted by all these low-key Italians and Eastern European Jews and Chinamen. It was all completely nonsense, but they had learned journals where you could publish an article that proved that, and you had the presidents of Harvard and Stanford and Princeton, Alexander Graham Bell being great eugenicists, you know, protecting the American genome, and it was all nonsense. It was just complete bullshit.
