"Positive" eugenics is also eugenics, i.e. nations that want more (insert racial or ethnic group) and encouraging those groups to reproduce are engaging in eugenics.

i don’t disagree but positive eugenics is literally not the topic at hand that’s why no one had brought it up

The OP isn't about eugenics of any sort. No one was talking about (negative) eugenics either until someone shoehorned it into the conversation.

I think it is intellectually dishonest to mention one type of eugenics while completely ignoring the other type, hence my bringing attention to a topic which has already been broached.
