Any objections to editing this:

enhanced emphasis on heredity.

Is "enhanced emphasis" not redundant?

Tommy Douglas

Removed again: the point is notability. Other examples are of figures for whom eugenics was an prominent and publicly stated belief during their working careers. With Tommy Douglas, it was the subject of a thesis, but there's no evidence of a later belief in it or statements to that effect. Its sole role seems to be as idee fixe for people who want an excuse for a hostile data point about Douglas. There are far better examples: George Bernard Shaw, John Maynard Keynes, Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge... Tearlach 14:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Assimilation V.S. Racial Hygene

I am of the opinion that the section on Australia's Assimilation policy does not belong in a page devoted to racial hygiene. The concepts are diametrically opposed. Racial hygienists sought to remove "undesirable" genes from the population by contraception, sterilization and genocide. Australia's policy aimed at cultural assimilation of biracial individuals. They were both racist policies, but of very different kinds.

Seeking to create a cultural hegemony over a genetically heterogeneous population is a policy distinctly different from racial hygiene.

I think it definitely belongs elsewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eintheyid (talk • contribs) 02:01, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Why does no-one here mention Margaret Senger (SP?), founder of Planned Parenthood, nor mention the eugenics movement of the American Left in ca. the 1930's? Could it be that Wikipedia is strongly biased in favor of the political left? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.71.141.93 (talk) 23:13, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Could it be that no reliable sources link her to racial hygene? Please verify your speculation. . dave souza, talk 18:37, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

What about the Various genocides on this topic

I argue the Genocide in Rwanda stems from the Belgian colonizers' imposing a segregation between the Hutus from the Tutsi's. one could argue Apartheid stems from Racial Hygene

Where's the merger discussion?

Please discuss..... dave souza, talk 18:37, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

It should be on the Eugenics talk page. Feel free to start it. --Scochran4 (talk) 19:02, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

No merger discussion, so no tag. . . dave souza, talk 19:23, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Some sort of "cross reference" between "Hygiene" and "Racial Hygiene"

Hello folks,

I began a detailed "Talk Page" on the Wikipedia article, on the word, "Hygiene". It's, of course, devoted to topics, such as "hand washing", "germ theory", and ways to keep things "clean" in places, such as Homes, Businesses, and Health Care facilities, especially Hospitals. It seems that a short, terse "disambiguation" page appears to be missing. (In fact, there is a rather humorous page, [1], in the talk section of your "Hygiene" page, where I was performing a "ass|u|me" function on myself.  :-)

I'm not aware of how to add that sort of page. Is there a "dis-ambiguous howto" on Wikipedia? I'm too busy to do it now, but would be very happy if someone would jump in, and then "bill me" for needed volunteer services, that can be negotiated, based on my "abilities" (for example, in the topic "Network and Security Administration", an issue that might be up my alley could be how to keep the "same life form" from forever changing his/her login ID's, so the admins think he/she is different. This to keep the same person from vandalizing the same web page over and over, due to differences in opinion on many topics, such as Politics and Religion. I'm sure people have seen the BOFH articles from ages ago...)

Thank you and best regards,

Anti-Polish persecutions - Poles were planned to be expelled from Europe.

Slavic people, mostly Polish, were to be expelled from Europe as well. See: Generalplan Ost - please do not confuse "White" with "Aryan" and "Aryan" with "subhuman" in the Nazi terminology. The marriages between Germans and Poles were strictly forbidden because of the racial hygene of the Germanic race and as we know, Poles were seen as the so called Slavic race.

False. Generalplan Ost was a Nazi plan that was not completely to do with extermination but rather resettlement, enslavement and possible extermination. All White Europeans were regarded as "Aryan" under Nazi technology.

After the Polish decrees were enacted the sexual relations between Germans and Polish slave laborers were forbidden as race defilement, this was nothing to do with the Aryan race but to do with the "honor of the German people".

The Nazis never used the term "Slavic race" and knew no such thing existed.--Windows66 (talk) 16:53, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
