Usually what is meant by Social Darwinism is to leave those in need to their own devices. If they're weak, they'll perish; if they're strong (smart enough, resourceful enough, or whatever) they'll survive. Humanity and society will be improved by letting the unenterprising and unhealthy die off before they can breed. Vinny is taking it a step farther into actually advocating radical eugenics.
