the term "white supremacist" is honestly really funny because if you actually look at what these people believe, they're generally either asian-supremacists or semito-supremacists, at least in terms of "whose cultures and brains are the best." i've come across a lot of people who are proud of european culture & history, and a lot of people who think that asians or jews are the most biologically superior human race, and a lot of people who hate jews, but i've never come across anyone who outright believed we're Aryan übermensch destined to something something will to power so and so etc. i'm sure they're still out there, probably in prison gangs and like, but it does not seem like a common ideology, especially not with today's alt-right.

like, they definitely think europeans are Better Than africans, but the idea that europeans are the Master Race is not something they can twist science sufficiently to justify, and they just don't seem to try

@velartrill I have definitely seen people say "black people are dumb but strong. Asian people are smart but weak. White people are superior because they are still smart but have more empathy". If you've never seen anybody who outright believed in aryan cringeshit, you're blessed with ignorance or at least not as clinically online as I've unfortunately been.

@kaikatsu i've encountered people who believe (not, i think, entirely without evidence) in that distribution of traits; i've certainly never seen anyone claim that distribution of traits makes euros (or any subset thereof) superior
