White supremacist movements and ideologies

White supremacist groups can be found in most countries and regions with a significant white population, including North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Latin America. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Australia topics. New Zealand is an Island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two main landmasses (the North Island and the South Island The Republic of South Africa (also known by other official names) is a country located at the southern tip of the continent of Africa In all of these locations, their views represent a relatively small minority of the population, and active membership of the groups is quite small. However, a backlash to the influx of non-white immigrants into various European nations has spurred a rise in membership in such extremist organizations, as well as an escalation in militant white supremacist demonstrations and hate crimes. Hate crimes (also known as bias motivated crimes) occur when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership in a certain Social group, usually defined The militant approach taken by white supremacist groups has caused them to be watched closely by law enforcement officials. Some European countries have laws forbidding hate speech, as well as other laws that ban or restrict white supremacist organizations but not all. Hate speech is a term for speech intended to degrade intimidate or incite violence or prejudicial action against a person or group of people based on their race, Gender

Pan Europeanism

Pan Europeanism accepts all native and original European peoples, from Swedes, Britons, Germans, Italians, Spaniards, Portuguese and Greeks.

Pan Aryanism

Another variant, Pan Aryanism, accepts native Europeans from all of continental Europe and extends its acceptance to non-European Caucasoids, such as some Middle Easterners, North Africans, and Central/West Asians. Yet this is usually on an individual basis and not all people from these regions are accepted by Pan-Aryanists as white. The acceptance of Middle Easterners in Pan-Aryanist ideology, Syrians, Lebanese, Turks (who are often considered European), and Persians are accepted as white, but Saudis and Yemenites as a whole are not. The Turkish people (Türk Halkı also known as " Turks " ( Türkler) are defined mainly as being speakers of Turkish as a First language

South Asian Caucasoids (Pakistanis, Northern Indians etc) as a whole may generally not be accepted in this ideology as well, however some Pan-Aryanists acknowledge and have disputing beliefs on lighter skinned people descended from Indo-Europeans in this region. An example is a textbook for those taking entrance examinations for the British Civil Service in the early 1900s categorically stated that Afghans and Berbers were in the highest classification, along with Northern Europeans, but above the Spanish and Italians. Her Majesty's Civil Service, also known as the Home Civil Service, is the permanent Bureaucracy of Crown employees that supports UK Government Ministers The Demographics of Afghanistan are ethnically and linguistically mixed Berbers are the indigenous peoples of North Africa west of the Nile Valley. The' Italian people' are a Southern European Ethnic group located primarily in Italy, Switzerland, France and by virtue of a wide-ranging ^[8].

Nordicism

Those who follow the ideology of Nordicism and Germanism only consider Northern European people who are Nordic (Scandinavians, Germans, and Dutch) to be white, shunning those of the British Isles (who are not considered Nordic because of historical mixing and cultural differences), Southern and Eastern Europe (who often have darker complexion and different cultures) along with anyone whose ethnic heritage is not European. The Nordic race was one of the racial categories into which the Europeans were divided by anthropologists in the first half of the twentieth century In Madison Grant's 1916 book, The Passing of the Great Race, Europeans who were not of Germanic origin and had Nordic characteristics such as blonde hair and light eyes were considered to be a Nordic admixture and suitable for Aryanization. Madison Grant ( November 19, 1865 &ndash May 30, 1937) was an American Lawyer, known primarily for his work as a The Passing of The Great Race or The racial basis of European history was an influential book of Scientific racism written by the American eugenicist lawyer and This article is about the Nazi concept For a discussion of the spread of Indo-Aryan culture in India see Indo-Aryan migration or Out of India theory ^[9]

Religious movements

The Christian Identity movement, which is regarded by other branches of Christianity as heretical, is closely tied to white supremacy. For the general identity of an individual with certain core essential religious doctrines see Christianity.

White People is the second album by Handsome Boy Modeling School. Some white supremacist groups, such as the South African Boeremag, conflate elements of Christianity and Odinism. The Republic of South Africa (also known by other official names) is a country located at the southern tip of the continent of Africa The Boeremag (Boer Force is an alleged South African right-wing activism group with white separatist aims and is accused of planning to overthrow the ruling African
