I think that sort of dystopian sci-fi tech is completely unfeasible though. People just aren't different enough genetically (and our immune systems aren't different enough) that any attempt at creating a supervirus that infects only a single ethnic group just flat out wouldn't work, and would just target people indiscriminately.

    Yeah, but the way defense procurement works they could probably make billions of dollars on the grift that they can make a genetically targetable virus. Just look at those ridiculous Littoral Combat Ships that are being decommissioned only a few years after rolling out of the shipyard.
