It's the comedic premise of the movie, it's not like it perpetuates the racist notions that were the real problem with pseudoscience like eugenics.
Even without the racial elements, eugenics is still an abhorrent ideology.
So what you're saying is indiscriminate killing is the only fair way? 🧌
How about no killing? That is a way more fair option.
A little killing? Like the billionaires as a treat?
The whole movie relies exclusively on the idea that eugenics is real, even though they're not focused on a racist subset of it.
Eugenics is pretty bad even when it's not trying to be racist.
It does though
It would've been a lot better if it just left the eugenics part out. They could've just had the main character wake up in the future instead of having the long narrative.
