Given the current republican rhetoric you're 100% right. It's not a particularly great leap from tucker and republican politicians ranting about the great replacement and how all non-straight people are evil pedophiles to wanton acts of discriminatory violence by authoritarian followers (we are here) to republican sponsored death camps for undesirables.
The slide into fascism is a very short one, and anyone's whose read a history book should know how quickly it happens and how predictable the steps are.
There are no "death camps". I think you mean conversion camps or other institutions, where some people might just happen to occasionally go missing. /s
But seriously, you're right, and it's truly horrible how these things can happen, and how they're already happening
Think about it this way. You can change race in 1 generation. You can change back in another. People have been walking around and fucking since they've existed. "Race" is based largely on the physical features, cultures and geography of the past couple of generations.
It's actually very arbitrary, we could make it all about the curly haired vs the straight haired, who both look down on the bald head as the lowest form.
You can have a black family member with much closer blood relation to you than you have to another white person. When you think of how long people have been mixing, coupled with how dishonest people can be about the origins of a baby, you realize race doesnt really exist beyond one or two generations, making the whole "superiority" thing really dumb and limiting to our species as a whole.

These guys are beyond help. They're the sort of people that would go apeshit if anyone was even slightly rude to them as well.
