We're in ur woods, hatin' ur Ursus Americanus

White supremacists, white supremacy, and white supremacism refer to an fuck-wit stupidness claiming that white people are superior to others, or are a "master race" or some other such nonsense.

There are white supremacists, and then there are white supremacists. The first type of this species wraps themselves openly in the symbols and regalia of Nazis, Fascism, and/or the Ku Klux Klan.

The other type is more insidious. These racists avoid identification with the first type, and wrap themselves in the language of anthropology and archaeology. This second type is fond of parading forth statistics relating to skull size, brain size, comparative IQ, crime rates, and other quack pseudoscience from the 19th century that was discredited not long after, as well as pseudo-libertarian bullshit about "freedom of association." They may also be identified by their apparent inability to distinguish correlation from causality.

Despite the label, the apparently "white"[1] Jews are often the targets of white supremacists, often ranking among their preferred victims. Paradoxically, the Jews are often characterized as devious tricksters, a trait which would theoretically require a great deal of intelligence, which should in turn lead to their inclusion among the "higher races." However, the supremacists seem to think that a genetic propensity towards virtue and extreme gullibility are more important to master race-ness than intellect. If the above makes not a lick of sense, it has nothing to do with the contributor's ability to express ideas; the rhetoric of White supremacy is really just that ass-backwards.

For examples, see:

  1. Genetics and ethnology are way, way more complicated than 'white' and 'dirty people', but it's their fucked up rhetoric, not ours.
