This is the concept of "collective guilt" and is why a lot of people in North Korea are persecuted because their ancestors had the audacity to own property.

It's also currently being employed in the US but along racial lines, a good example is the Biden admin denying covid relief and treatment to whites in favour of POC/women (even though covid killed WAY more men).

One group gets targeted for collective sin while ignoring those of every other group, even though the individuals had nothing to do with any of it, regardless of which group they belong to.

There is literally *zero* legitimate reason to base any policy on race or gender, ever. Any things they claim to want to "right" can be done by prioritizing by economic class. But that's not the point nor intent.
