The Nazis praised the US's "scientific" approach to racism and eugenics.
Measuring people's heads; IQ tests served in a person's non-native language and relied on specific knowledge of American culture; Plain old racist rhetoric like calling people "dangerous", "criminals" with no evidence. (Sound familiar?)
Anything to prove that black and foreign people were inferior and should be exploited, in a classic "we know the answer and we must cherry pick the data to reach that conclusion".
A lot of these tools were taken up by the Nazis for their persecution of Jews, and now they're coming right back around.

It is no more than a cover for doing more horrible things.
