Seeing people spread the idea that "bad genetics" are what make bad people makes me want to bang my their head against a fucking wall.

FIFY

I couldn't tell.

Someone's got angry genetics...

Happened in my workplace, in the implied sense as a coworker I no longer interact with proclaimed I had "good genetics".

Some background, There is a massive amount of light skin bias in indo-eurasia. Pathan or Pusthans are a group of people in Pakistan/Afghanistan.

We are stereotyped as "tall", "strong", "stubborn", "beautiful", " light colored skin", "black hair".

Of course this leads into eugenics. Because of course we get viewed as a "superior" people throughout Indoeurasia.

I don't get sick often? It's because I am genetically good (implying others inferiority).

I have lush hair? It's because I am genetically good. (implying again).

Overall interacting with said coworker was exhausting, and now I don't. But this reality remains whenever someone learns I am Pathan.

Genetics doesn't make someone bad, but it can make them more susceptible to influence from a bad environment. A sociopath would be less inclined to become a monster if they were raised in a healthy, positive environment. If they were raised by billionaires, they would be Ragnarok.

There are correlations between genetics and mental health, but this is really sometimes part of a larger problem of people thinking that "bad people" act irrationally or choose evil and also reifying this idea of a bad person. Some people seem to think evil looks like mental illness.
