britain, sweden, norway. all of these people believe they are being replaced and must fight to resist it. and much of this discourse on white supremacy is centered in the united states of america. how did this happen? where did it come from? after slavery, the holocaust, civil rights movement. the truth is, race has been the central conflict in american life from the day the republican was born. we witnessed extreme racism before. in periods of upheaval and rapid social change. and now once again, we are living in such a time. >> hail trump. hail our people. hail victory. >> we need to make america great again. >> trump definitely energized the alt right.

we have this connection. we can inflict his policies. >> we are determined to take our country back. we're going to fulfill the promises of donald trump. >> donald trump is not a white supremacist. but there is no doubt that he is a hero to many in the white supremacy movement. the current upsurge might have been triggered, however, because of another president. >> thank you. >> barack obama's election was a moment of joy and unity for millions of americans. >> god bless the united states of america. >> but some, perhaps many, were shocked by it. >> clearly, the presence of a black family in the white house deranged many millions of americans. >> once obama was in the white house, the backlash grew and

strapge strangers who crossed the atlantic, pacific, rio grande, we are here because this country welcomed them in. >> throughout the history of this country, immigration has reinvigorated the united states. but it has also awakened the darkest american impulses. one little remembered chapter holds a frightening reminder of where those impulses can lead. ellis island, 100 years ago. immigrants were pouring into the country at times 100,000 a month. packed body to body on boats, penniless, hungry, desperate to become americans. >> they were considered just inferior. polish people or jewish people or southern italians. >> at the time, many european

immigrants were considered to be entirely different races. >> people referred to people from ireland as a race. people from hungary as a race. the jews as a race. >> with new enemies to hate, membership in the klan soared. >> hugo black was a member of the ku klux klan. >> until 1925 when he served as a supreme court justice until 1971. back then, white supremacy was an elite movement led by the richest and most powerful. they came up with a solution. a pseudo-science called eugenics, based on the belief that many americans were mentally defective.

among them immigrants. >> america is degenerating. >> they believe so-called defectives should not be allowed to reproduce. >> sterilize women who were thought not capable of having the right kind of children. >> thousands of women were sterilized as the fake science became a national craze. it decided it was time to bring its so-called research to capitol hill. >> charts of data purporting to show that people from italy, from poland, from the slavic countries were genetically inferior to the northern european, to the nordic. >> after months deef ba s of dew immigration act was passed. >> they shut the door. reduced immigration to the united states by 97%.

for white supremacy to exist, there has to be some standard for whiteness. >> people think they know what white is. if you walk down the street, you say, that person is white, that person doesn't seem white. as a scientific concept, it's completely murky. >> experts say visible differences among races are mostly a result of how much time their ancestors spent in the sun. >> there are differences in color between different people. but those do not go along with inner characteristics of intelligence or self-control or anything like that. there are no racial qualities that some people have and other people don't have. >> you will not replace us. >> in other words, racial hierarchy is a social construction. who is considered white at the top of the heap has always been determined by those in power.

this case tells the story. >> the case in the 1920s shows the absurdity. >> he was an immigrant from india who had served in the u.s. army in world war i and married an american woman. >> at that time, he was not allowed to become an american citizen because he was non-white. question. who is white? >> he argued he was white because his people, from the state of panjab of india, were from arians. the term finds its origins in asia, referring to the people from central asia who are believed to have later migrated to india. remember, the caucasians refers to people from the caucuses mountains. >> what the court says is, would

most white americans view you as white? if the answer is no, i'm sorry, no. >> what kind of concept is that? >> the judges made the case that the purity of the aryan blood in india had been destroyed when arians intermarried with the local population there. implying that he was, therefore, not a pure aryan. ironically, nazi racial policies were based on similar ideas, that the germans were the only pure aryans because the original ones had intermarried. america's racial distinctions were closely studied by the nazis. >> that learning leaves its imprint in part on hitler's nuremberg laws. >> using dubious pseudo-science to prop up racism happens in

nevertheless, efforts to categorize people into a racial hierarchy go back hundreds of years. >> whether it's five races, three races, africans and m mongoloids. there's this pseudo-racial science which tries to give a supposedly objective grounding to what is ultimately a system of prejudice. >> another case in 1896 shows just how arbitrary definitions of race can be in america. >> a man who was white by any definition, but he was considered black because maybe one black ancestor. >> he intentionally boarded a whites only train car in louisiana, challenging the state's separate but equal laws. >> the conductor came and said,

mentioned her many times in his manifesto. to take revenge for ebba, he wrote. the inspiration for his gruesome attack came from another white supremacist. he committed the worse massacre in norway's history in 2011. >> an assassin dressed as a police officer opened fire at a summer camp. >> he murdered 77 people, most of them teenagers at a summer youth camp run by the labor party. his manifesto was about multi-culturalism and a call to arms for other white supremacists. like the new zealand terrorist who echoed many of the same themes in his manifesto. he called it the great replacement. >> you will not replace us. >> remember, that was one of the chants from the charlottesville rally. in fact, the idea doesn't come

from america. it comes from a french group of intellectuals called the european new right that first ee merm emerged as a reaction to the loss of france's colony algeria. they did not want muslim kol n colonists living in france. most rejected that racist talk. >> it made europeans wary about using the language of white supremacy as people began to understand where some of the ideas led. >> it was seen as a shameful chapter in europe's history in which europeans had treated their foreign subjects brutally. for instance, at the end of the 19th century, they murdered thousands. the british tortured and killed

thousands in detention camps in kenya. the backlash to post-colonial guilty remained on the fringes for decades. soon, a new movement turned the ideas into action. they call themselves ithemselve identitarians. it included racist groups across the world. >> our movement is growing. >> nationalism. population replacement. >> the great replacement. >> they repost one another's comments and statements. they watch one another's videos. they are very much part of the same culture now. >> then in 2015, the movement found its moment. the migrant crisis. >> every day, every hour, illegal immigrants are flooding the border.

if there is a great american novel, one that is thought to define the american sensibility, it is "the great gatsby." in its opening pages, one of the charges talks about a fine book titled "the rise of the colored

empires." >> have you read "the rise of the colored empires"? everybody ought to read it. >> the idea is if we don't look out, the white race will be utterly submerged. >> the dominant race to watch out or these other races -- >> it's scientific stuff. it's been proved, he says. fitzgerald might not have been endorsing these sentiments, the character who mouths them is one of the least admirable ones in the book, representing a certain kind of unthinking, vulgar rich man. and yet in 1921, just a few years before he wrote the book, fitzgerald wrote a letter to a critic explaining his own views. the negroids sneak through.

permit only scandinavians to end. fitzgerald seems aware his views were not politically correct. he adds in the letter, my reactions were anti-socialist, provincial and racially snobbish. he persisted in his view of racial hierarchy. we are as far above the modern frenchman as he is above the negro. the reason i begin with this literary reference is to remind us all how deeply embedded is the idea of racial hierarchy in western civilization. in fact, in some ways it's in the dna of the modern west because from the 16th and 17th centuries, as europe grew richer and stronger, it began to assume that its material success must be a result of its superiority, religious or ethnic or racial. this view built on centuries of western success has taken deep root and not just among whites.

people across asia and africa prefer light skin to dark. >> i realize an obstacle was my skin. >> spent billions of dollars on creams to make them whiter. >> in the black community in the united states, there's a preference for lighter skin. ironically, this all persists despite the fact that we're now living this an age where the fastest growing economies in the world are asian. where china and south korea and india are demonstrating powerfully that they can be as materially successful as the whitest and most nordic people. the fact that these views are so deep seeded, subconsciously part of the modern psyche, is why we are unable to see the growing danger in our midst. the number of white militants has grown sharply. they have attacked more often and with greater brutality.

and yet the authorities have always seemed to be surprised and unprepared. perhaps unable to fully internalize the nature of this ideology and its violent ambitions. it's important to understand as america and the western world become more mixed, multicultural, the backlash will grow. white supremacists want to do more than just protest. they make this clear in their internal communications. they are planning for it every day. let's hope we can all recognize this danger before they succeed. i'm fareed zakaria. thank you for watching.
