I certainly didn't read Bennet's comments that way. He is making a gentotype definition, not a socio-economic one. If he meant abort children of the poor because they commit more crimes he would have said so; however, he is a race theorist. In his world "race" is a definite subspecies of human which has a correlation to socially constructed activities (e.g., criminal).
