Not sure the point. That’s like saying you can’t be an advocate for trans rights if you aren’t trans or that there aren’t men who think women are superior or women who think men are superior etc etc. of course you can be a “white supremacist” without being white. There were Jewish Nazis weren’t there? There were black people who supported slavery.
Heck yeah, you can advocate for a group you're not part of.
White supremacy can get kinda silly about this, though. Us Swedes don't like to admit we're racist but our society certainly is. Eugenics used to be taught in school just a generation before me. While I try to do better it's something I've grown up with and watching, especially US, white supremacists is wierd with those "glasses". Without going to far into that pseudoscience of race. As Scandinavians a lot of us barely see the English, French and Germans as "white" and we have special words for south and east europeans. Bad words. So seeing American white supremacists calling themselves "white" and "superior" brings a special confusion because they're not white. I have a word for what they are but I'd never use it.
lol. I appreciate your perspective. I have some knowledge on the relative homogeny and certain recent historical or other things that Americans or foreigners may consider awkward or problematic- of some of the Scandinavian countries but as an outsider I have always had curiosity to get more perspective from those who grew up in the culture.
It’s interesting too how white supremacists tend to look generally ideologically silly to everyone but white supremacists regardless of the background one comes from. Lol.
