White Supremacy—Not Just for White People

Nick Fuentes, Enrique Tarrio, and the Texas mall shooter are part of a disturbing trend of non-whites being radicalized by a violent, right-wing ideology.

White supremacy groups and neo-Nazis are trying to broaden their appeal, and that often means recruiting non-whites to support their extremist views. In 2017, the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer started a Spanish language version. White supremacy is often rooted in personal insecurity, and non-whites are sometimes attracted to the hate of white supremacist movements to feel some kind of power and exert dominance over other groups such as immigrants, Jews, and women.
