In some extreme cases, it may turn out that a country is attempting to reduce a particular population by providing what appears as benefits. Probably free condoms are far too voluntary and ineffectual to come even close, but still - if anyone attempted it with the distinct intent of reducing some specific population, it could be somewhere in the neighborhood of ethnic cleansing.

I'd say there's a clear distinction with condoms around reversibility. You have to affirmatively choose to use a condom every time you have sex.

If the government were giving out free vasectomies or tubal ligations to certain ethnic groups and not others, that would be a wildly different story.
