Those scientists don't have long careers outside of extreme cases. The ones you are describing are not the rule. Anybody who came to the opposite conclusion probably didn't have a long career in Nazi Germany.
Well the Americans did the same things to the German...ever see the posters during WW2 about the Hun invaders destroying democracy?
Or the Japs:
The Russians were animalized:
American slavery was justified through sciences of phrenology and physiognomy proving blacks were naturally slaves to whites.
The Greeks even claims that non-Greeks were less human than Greeks were...they were barbarians, not worthy of consideration. The Greeks often proved this through logic and induction.
What the Nazis were proving wasn't new or anything, turn humans into something less than humans so that they can be treated in a very bad way without much thought or consideration. We do it now. Look at the term "illegal alien", or instead of saying that 10,000 people killed in Vietnam in one day, a new overly-rational scientific term like "10 megadeaths" will be created to distance the people doing the actions from their actions.
Scientists are even worse now, they work around the clock to enable politicians to have the power to end all life on Earth in a political decision. The values they promote are anti-life. Even cloning is possible, which is an aberration.
Scientific racism still pops up in IQ science and in works like The Bell Curve, Battle Hymm of the Tiger Mother, and most recently The Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race, and Human History. All of this is rooted in the same ideology the Nazis were working under, which goes back to the old paradigm of philosophical essentialism. For some reason people keep going back to that....because natural law is so comfortable I guess.
