This one shocked me, even made me feel like the character in the movie "They Live" where he puts on the glasses and is awoken to the truth. Warning... Its very, dark and depressing and may lead you down a rabbit hole, reader discretion is advised. The implications of what I'm about to reveal are a reinforced pattern that nearly every society either ignores or tries to hide, and it actually has many societal implications still affecting human civilization globally to this day.
In sperm banks, donors' sperm is constantly being scrutinized, reduced down to base genes and the parent's attributes. The same thing would probably happen to eggs banks but they yield such a higher failure rate and cost not to mention the health rates only get worse with age, so it is hardly ever practiced as such. Back to the matter of donor sperm, the banks are actively selecting for sperm that's come from donors who have a specific race, height, intelligence, athleticism, eye color, pigment and etc. The reasoning for this is not even from a medical standpoint, it goes beyond actively denying donors who may have genetic diseases and or predisposed to severe health problems. This happens so often that some sperm banks actively enforce a height requirement, race requirement, eye color requirement, etc. They will openly reject donors who do not meet these standards, other sperm banks may be more discrete, they may receive a donor's "inferior" sperm and simply discard it while no one is paying attention. All of is done globally by the way, from Brazilian sperms banks to ones in Africa, Europe, Asia, everywhere. All are making an attempt to breed only humans that fit a singular common ideal of genetics and attributes. Consider this selection process of sperm is reinforced by stereotypical biases, apathy and delusional hypergamy. Do not fall for the trap in thinking that these banks' purpose is altruistic in nature.
With regard to how sperm is vetted, the pattern of rational behind such methods is also recognized influencing other decisions of daily life but never sees the light of day in the mainstream cycle of media, debate, or conscience. Among them, are grandiose and hotbed topics fit for another day, perhaps even another thread.
If you do not believe me, you can look it up yourself about from simple things like 5.8 ft minimum height requirement listed on a Sperm Bank's web site and firsthand reports about donors being rejected.
