You didn't mention sex selection in your previous posts. You said:
"Labs can make sperm from stem cells, so there's really no need for us anymore."
That statement is ambiguous. You could have been referring to how a post-male, post-genocide society would be able to function.
I agree that sex selection is a much less radical position to take. It's still wrong.
American society is becoming more and more multi-racial. It's not hard to imagine future parents selecting for phenotypes that are strongly associated with various racial groups today. Blonde, or curly black hair, for example.
Do you think it would be advisable for parents to use contemporary crime statistics to decide which "race" they want to pass on to their children? Do you understand why some people who are already alive might consider such rhetoric dangerous?
We're talking about the biodiversity of the human genome here. It shouldn't be winnowed so carelessly based on current societal conditions.
