Shower thought:
Is there a contradiction between the typical progressive belief in blank slateism and progressive women's (and some men's) choosiness in who to partner up and have babies with? If any baby can be nurtured and educated into becoming an astronaut or [insert high status white collar profession], then what's the big deal about getting DNA from a sub-optimal mate?
It's just standard issue compartmentalization. Most progressives understand that kids are going to take from their parents. They know what genetics is. It's just such an obvious, omnipresent thing that it requires staggering levels of ideological malware to start disputing that white people have white kids, or that smart people have smart kids.
The problem arises when one is offered the opportunity to reason about how that dynamic might play out over large populations and large spans of time. In that case, the typical response is to just turn it off.
