Historically this isnt new, quebec was populated this way, by royals sending women to breed with the mostly male colonists.

But its true, most modern dystopias are just „what if x but it happens to white people“

Yeah I made it through a couple episodes and was like "This was literally done to black and Native American women across North America.

Mormonism, one of the home grown religions of the US, advocated blackness was the Mark of Cain.
