Not sure I agree. More like, arguing that cultural and inherited values and behaviors can result in changes to the gene pool. Not that people are generically inferior, but that their values can be propagated when tied to a higher birthrate, with potentially net negative outcomes for society at large.
The exhortations of early Christian leaders against birth control are thought to be in part an effort to ensure the faithful flock grew at a faster rate than rival religions. A similar concept to the one I am trying to frame in the above paragraph, but not one that I would call eugenics which is an utterly flawed and morally abhorrent concept.
