I mean, on the one hand, there's literal Phrenology and The Bell Curve and a genuinely serious attempt at pidgin holing every individual in society into their caste via bullshit race science. This technique was executed with shocking effectiveness by the South African apartheid state for decades. And it's common enough in the modern day that "You don't have the right chromosomes to wear a skirt" is a serious line of agreement.
On the other, folks love to just go all reactionary and DebateBro concepts to insane conclusions. They know it won't actually impact their material conditions because it'll never be put into practice. So they get to look smugly Big Brain on the internet without worrying about real application of hypothesis.
