These stereotypes about lefties become significantly more sinister when you look at who they were used against throughout history. Because being left-handed was associated with women and “lower races”, these assumptions about the “evil hand” became assumed character traits of these racial and gender demographics. The logic went: the right-hand is better. Women and non-whites aren’t right-handed. Therefore, men and white people must be better. In addition to that being blatantly sexist and racist, it isn’t even statistically accurate as left-handedness is more common among men than women.
