And like most mental disorders, there are DEGREES of antisocial personality disorder. It's not black or white, all or nothing.

But of course pretending it can't be treated and that all people who have the disorder have it to an extreme degree are typical of the tactics used to dehumanize and then justify discrimination against mentally ill people.

Blurring the distinction between a person you dislike and the mentally ill in general is another common way of dehumanizing people who are actually sick.
