I agreed what you said: "The ruling was deeply intertwined with rising nativist efforts to preserve an idealized American racial stock. As the podcast states, “The eugenicists saw two threats to the national gene pool: One was the external one, which they were addressing through immigration law; the other was the internal one — what to do about the people who were already here. They had a few ideas. The decision not only devastated thousands of lives but also influenced Nazi Germany’s sterilization policies, illustrating the dangerous consequences of pseudoscientific racial purity theories."
I can add that The Supreme Court Ruling That Led to 70,000 Forced Sterilizations hints at the dark outcomes of the Holocaust and reminds us that Hitler cited America’s eugenics movement and laws as inspiration.
