It certainly does in my book.

She was also a firm believe that some of those "undesirables" were the poor white trash.
I would think pure racist intent would favor rising population rates of one race and declining rates of another.
That's not what I've seen about her. She was in favor of rich, educated, healthy people having more babies, and poor, uneducated, subnormally intelligent, and unhealthy people not having babies.
She had her biases, I don't deny that. I think her biases were consistent with the beliefs of many of her time.
