    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.

      The whole movie relies exclusively on the idea that eugenics is real, even though they’re not focused on a racist subset of it.

      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.
