370:"Though according to some long dispensed-with in terms of any meaningful scientific value" - is this really the place to insert this information? Is this a definition of White Nationalism, or a refutation of it? This kind of schizophrenia runs throughout the original, and makes for poor writing. As I stated above, I don't expect this entry to be a WNist tract, but I do expect an honest representation of what WNism is, and I do expect enough room for that representation to breathe. I'm sure the entry on race that is linked to has more than enough grist for the race-denial crowd. Even if this caveat does belong here, it shouldn't be included in the same paragraph that sets forth the WN beliefs concerning race, much less in the same sentence.

separation. In the middle, there's the majority opinion that separatist WN nations should be established, rather than an enforced separation for all whites, willing or no. On the "right," there's the opinion that historically white nations like the U.S.A. and Europe should enforce mass expulsion of non-Whites. Even this is an oversimplification - there is no monolithic WN position on this, for example many WNs feel that
European nations should expel all non-whites, but the U.S.A. should only make room for racial enclaves.

use strictly genetic criteria, without cultural distinctions. Jews and
Muslims are rarely considered white by White Nationalists, even if they appear to be European, mostly for historical and cultural reasons: many White Nationalists argue that both groups are already represented by their own forms of racial nationalism. Others exclude them based on the "descendants of European Christendom" cultural-genetic criterion above.

very racially ambiguous term, and essentially includes a variety of racial groups whose membership in the group "Hispanic" essentially boils down to language and history, not to race. Third, the idea that
Sicilians and Puerto Ricans are considered non-white by all WNs is simply wrong. Many WNs recognize that some Puerto Ricans are at least genetically white, and most accept Sicilians as white.

statement, this has little to do with WNist belief, even if true. I've never heard a WN refer to the NAACP as a "separatist" group. I have many times heard from WNs the complaint that advocacy groups for non-whites are publically supported and given positive press, while advocacy groups for whites are automatically classified as "white supremacists." This is a quite salient distinction, no?

concepts of race, culture and ethnicity. Puerto Rico, much like the US is a place inhabited by people of differing races, and or ethnicties. Among the population one can find people who are White, Black and or of mixed racial stock. As for
Sicillians? I have seen many who can be mistaken for Nordics! Waldemar Freyre
144:"and perhaps even Slavs." No, you're thinking of the Third Reich. In my experience, less than oh, one percent of all White Nationalists consider Slavs non-white. In fact, in my two years posting and reading regularly at Stormfront.org, I think I 'might' have heard ONE person refer to slavs as non-white.

It's not a "threat" to inform people of the imbalance of an article. The natural thing for me to do in the first place would be to post a thread at SF about the article, its lack of balance, and suggest that interested WNs do something about how their ideology was being portrayed unfairly. Instead,

This passage is extremely problematic. First of all, Portugal and Italy are nations, not races, and currently neither nationality carries racially exclusive connotations. Swedish and

The WN view on race and racial science deserves it's own paragraph, not just the second half of a sentence. It's also worth explaining why many WNs reject the term "racist," if it's worth mentioning the rejection itself. Some may object to my rewrite above, but in my experience the word "hatred"

The issue of violent behavior and rhetoric among WN groups deserves its own paragraph, if it's to be broached, I think. "nd some have built up strong followings, mainly in prisons," is an obvious attempt to link WNism with the old pathology canard. The National Alliance, America's foremost WN

Another problem is the "racial purity" passage. "Racial purity" is misleading, again because there is no WN consensus even on whether there is such a thing, let alone whether it is a goal of WNism. I'm a scientific racist myself, that is, racial reality informs all my beliefs about terms like

It is not only true that many of these groups deny advocating white supremacy, many groups actually do not advocate white supremacy. This sort of not-so-subtle phrasing is part of what I object to. Is this to be an honest presentation of WNism, or a refutation of WNism? As for the "canard"

My point was that "White Nationalists" or Supremacists generally have a view of "white" that excludes people who general American, British, Australian or other such societies would consider white, such as Jews, native European Muslims (i.e. Balkan Muslims), and perhaps even Slavs. Anyway, any

361:"racial purity." I am fully aware of the fuzzy borders of race in terms of genetics, and I reject terms like "racial purity" as less than useful. "Racial distinctiveness" or "racial heritage" or "genetic identity" are all far more useful (and accurate) terms than "racial purity."
