    It only bothers me when people are hung up on the genetics aspect.

    People (broadly statistically) tend to grow up to be similar to thier parents in terms of values. Not so much because of DNA, but because of how they were raised.

    The premise holds even if you toss away anything to do with biology. (Which you should)

    Idiots tend to have idiot kids because they raised them in idiot households, and idiots tend to have more kids.

      Random people are usually way smarter than people give them credit. Idiots are an exception, though I have no idea how hey are distributed.

      and idiots tend to have more kids

      That’s completely unfundamented idea that was created to support some racist movements. One would think that movie made a clear enough point to convince anybody this is bullshit…
