"what do you think about Eurocentrism among the "non-White"
Turanians such as the Bedouins"
I don't claim that Eurocentrism is solely genetic; much of it
undoubtedly is caused by the experience of being colonized by
the Western colonial powers creating the association of
"whiteness" with power. It is on this account that I do believe
that effective propaganda can significantly reduce (though not
completely erase) Eurocentrism among many.
"when in theory it should be the Zarzians who are propagating
Eurocentrism?"
How would we recognize present-day Zarzians? As far as I know
there have been no traditional hunting clans in that region for
ages.
In any case, merely treating "white" strangers better than
"non-white" strangers in equivalent day-to-day interactions is
only one aspect of Eurocentrism. What I would consider more
revealing is, for example, how such parents raise their
offspring. Do they try to immerse their offspring in Western
education, Western decorum, etc., believing this will 'improve'
their offspring?

Maybe it will erase Eurocentrism, but I would argue that the
drive for power itself is just as bad insofar as it helped
uphold the Eurocentric hierarchy. But if you are arguing that
without the colonial era (which caused Eurocentrism to begin
with), this "drive" would merely be expressed in the form of raw
Turanism as opposed to manifesting itself as explicit
Eurocentrism, and hence "Whiteness" and those who worship it
(i.e. Paleo-Gentiles) due to their genetic deference toward the
progenitors of it (i.e. Giants) should be targeted first in
order to end Eurocentrism, then I would agree. But Aryanization
will only be complete with the phasing out of those aggressive
subhuman Turanians. Non-Eurocentric, goat-sacrificing/eating
aggression is also worthy of our condemnation (I would assume).
"How would we recognize present-day Zarzians? As far as I know
there have been no traditional hunting clans in that region for
ages."
I was thinking aggression, but since by my own admission,
Bedouins are also aggressive, this would not work. So what I
meant to say was that in theory there should exist very minimal
Eurocentrism in this region, but now that you have clarified
Eurocentrism is not purely genetic, I can see why some non-Paleo
Gentiles also practice it.
"In any case, merely treating "white" strangers better than
"non-white" strangers in equivalent day-to-day interactions is
only one aspect of Eurocentrism. What I would consider more
revealing is, for example, how such parents raise their
offspring. Do they try to immerse their offspring in Western
education, Western decorum, etc., believing this will 'improve'
their offspring?"
I see. Now that you mention it, they are not Eurocentric in this
regard. This is not to say that their parenting is Aryan (far
from it) as they essentially teach their children to be
aggressive playground bullies. Quite literally, my uncle
remarked how the Bedouin parents would encourage their offspring
to push and shove their way onto the slide at a playground, at
the expense of the non-aggressive children!
Of course, if an ideological anti-Eurocentrism is also rooted in
anti-Turanism, then I assume we will be able to deal with two
things in one shot.

Compare Sanders' skin color with the podium text.
Hell, if you're on mobile, compare it with the background of

His skin color is more similar to the red flag stripe behind

Another version of the same story we keep hearing:
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/came-terms-being-asian-160711235.html
[quote]I was a shy and sensitive Asian kid living in a small,
mostly-white town. I'd turn on the TV and rarely see anyone that
looked like me. There were a few films and shows that featured
strong Asian actors like Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan, but I always
remember seeing the toxic Hollywood caricatures of Asian people:
Mickey Rooney’s Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany’s — the
angry, tight-eyed, buck-toothed Japanese man with a
stereotypical accent — or the nerdy math geek in high school.
I couldn’t really make the connection with being Asian.
Growing up, I always wished that I had bigger eyes and was white
like everyone else in my small town. To blend in, I was
conditioned to act like my stereotypical vision of a white
person. As a second-generation South Korean, I had always looked
down on my ethnicity as if it were a handicap. I was ashamed of
my culture. I vividly remember how I would sheepishly bring
friends over for dinner, wishing my mother didn’t have her
strong Korean accent. I would ask her to cook something more
“western” like burgers or spaghetti, worrying that my friends
would think our food smelled weird.
...
Kids would pull back their eyes and say “ching chang chong” or
sing the classic “me chinese me no dumb” song. I would be called
“ch*nk,” “n*p” or “g*ok.” (Though I almost appreciated being
called “g*ok,” as it was more specific to Koreans. What a
refined racist, I thought to myself.)
I was even beaten up because of my race. I once had a regular
bully throw rocks at me while yelling “go back to your country,”
and I ended up having to get stitches.
Worse than the physical scars were the emotional ones. I
remember when a so-called “friend” I was playing with at the
park turned on me the moment that another group of his friends
started bullying me. He ended up joining the fun, spewing racist
comments, and hitting me.
I really enjoyed sports as a kid, especially hockey. I grew numb
to the racist slurs from the opposition, but the comments from
my own teammates stung. Of course, there was the more subtle
racism like, “Where are you from?” or “are you Chinese or
Japanese” or “you must be great at math.” Sometimes I’d try to
laugh it off; to try and fit in by joking about it or changing
the subject. I remember as a youngster it would hit deep and I
would cry for hours in my room. As I grew into a teenager I
would compartmentalize it, but the odd time my anger would boil
over and get me into fights at the local weekend “bush party.” I
realized I would always have to keep my head on a swivel. There
were people who hated me for being Asian, and they would go out
of their way to beat the sh*t out of me.
As I grew older I continued to resist anything to do with Asian
culture. Sometimes I would even say racist comments about
Koreans or other Asian people, as I tried to embody being as
white as I could be. Hell, even my friends would often say that
I was whiter than them — the classic “twinkie” or “banana” — and
I relished it.[/quote]

HTML https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb-umpires-show-discrimination-against-non-white-players-according-to-new-study-191649525.html
[quote]A new study suggests MLB umpires discriminate against
non-white players, according to Hank Snowdon, a student at
Claremont McKenna.
...
While white umpires gave more favorable calls to white players,
that was also the case with Latino umps.[/quote]
The favouritism of "white" umpires to the benefit of "white"
players can be accounted for as tribal nepotism. The favouritism
of "non-white" umpires also to the benefit of "white" players
can only be Eurocentrism.
And do you really think this only occurs in baseball? I have
witnessed countless occasions where "non-white" experts in a
particular subject are ignored as "non-white" Eurocentrists
would rather get advice about that subject from a "white" who
knows nothing about the subject.....

Mainstream journalists now starting to say what we have been
saying for ages:
HTML https://edition.cnn.com/2021/09/04/us/census-browning-of-america-myth-blake/index.html
[quote](CNN)Cutting taxes for the rich helps the poor. There is
no such thing as a Republican or a Democratic judge. Climate
change is a hoax.
Some political myths refuse to die despite all evidence the
contrary. Here's another:
When White people are no longer a majority, racism will fade and
the US "will never be a White country again."
...
It's now taken as a given that the "Browning of America" will
lead to the erosion of White supremacy.
I used to believe those predictions. Now I have a different
conclusion:
Don't ever underestimate White supremacy's ability to adapt.
The assumption that more racial diversity equals more racial
equality is a dangerous myth. Racial diversity can function as a
cloaking device, concealing the most powerful forms of White
supremacy while giving the appearance of racial progress.
Racism will likely be just as entrenched in a browner America as
it is now. It will still be White supremacy, with a tan.
...
Why do so many racial groups gravitate toward Whiteness? The
answer is both pragmatic and psychological.
It's due to a racial hierarchy that places Whiter-looking people
at the top and darker-skinned people at the bottom of the
socio-economic ladder.
"Sometimes looking White puts money directly into your pockets,"
says Tanya K. Hernandez, author of the forthcoming book "Racial
Innocence: Unmasking Latino Anti-Black Bias and The Struggle for
Equality."
"You get access to jobs, opportunities and being viewed as
competent. But there's also a psychological benefit, that
feeling of having enhanced status, of being part of Whiteness."
...
In the 2010 Census, for example, researchers discovered that
some 1.2 million Americans who had identified as "Hispanic,
Latino or Spanish origin" a decade earlier had changed their
race from "some other race" to "white."
...
The future of Whiteness in America may rest with Latino people.
It could go either way. A study suggests that Latino identity
fades across successive generations as immigrant connections
fade away. If large numbers of Latino people identify as White
in the future, Whiteness will expand. The enhanced status and
socio-economic benefits that come from identifying as White will
be too tempting for many to ignore.
...
The link between Whiteness and status is already a reality in
some Latin American countries.
In places like Brazil and Cuba, mixed-race people and
interracial marriages are common. Latin Americans tend to think
of themselves not in terms of race, but nationality.
Yet discrimination against darker-skinned and indigenous people
is common there and many other Latin American countries. There's
still a widespread belief that the Whiter a person looks, the
better it is for them.
These countries offer proof that a country can have a large and
expanding population of Black, brown and multiracial people --
and still be governed by the same racial hierarchy that gave us
slavery and colonialism.
Consider Brazil. It is home to more people of African heritage
than any country outside Africa, and roughly 40% of Brazilians
identify as mixed race.
But many Brazilians' economic and educational prospects are
still shaped by colorism -- the notion that a person's inherent
worth is determined by their skin color, according to an article
in Foreign Policy that looked at the country's racial landscape.
Some 80% of the country's one-percenters are white, the article
said.
"Today, Brazilians see themselves as falling across a spectrum
of skin colors with a dizzying assortment of names: burnt white,
brown, dark nut, light nut, black, and copper," Cleuci De
Oliveira wrote in the article. "What ultimately binds these
definitions together is an awareness that the less 'black' a
person looks, the better."
...
while racism is banned by law in Cuba, it is "alive on the
streets." The country's Afro-Cuban population is still locked
out of most elite circles, which are dominated by Anglo-looking
Cubans.
"What you have is a very highly educated Afro-Cuban population
and yet there's a glass ceiling," says Hernandez, who is also a
professor at the Fordham University School of Law in New York
City. "There's still a penalty for Blackness where it can only
reach so high."
What's happened in some Latin American countries can easily
happen in the United States. There will be cosmetic changes in
our racial makeup -- more Black, brown and multiracial people.
But the dominant group will remain White people, however they
may be defined by 2045.
We will have arrived at one what one sociologist calls the
"Latin-Americanization of race" in the US. There will be more,
not less, racial inequality in the US because people will cite
the nation's growing diversity to "drown out" those voices of
darker-skinned people still fighting for racial justice, says
Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, author of "Racism without Racists:
Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in
America."
...
Multiracial people will not save America
Some people pin their hopes for a more racially tolerant future
on multiracial people. That issue hits even closer to home for
me.
...
We're often described as the vanguard of a new racial order in
which interracial couples and their children will chip away at
White supremacy until it collapses.
...
But the explosive growth of Americans who now identify as
multiracial could also be used to reinforce racial inequality.
How? It depends on how we check the box.
...
There has long been a debate in the multiracial community,
though, about how we express ourselves. Some say we shouldn't
confine our choice to the Black box but should instead select
"some other race" -- or even White.
That debate erupted at the dinner table with my father one day.
When I told him that I define myself as Black, he dropped his
fork in anger and raised his voice.
...
Here's the hard truth we must face about the future: We may live
someday in an America where there are no racial majorities, but
Whiteness can still reign supreme.
Nothing will change, though, unless we go after the racial
hierarchy that makes Whiteness such an exclusive club.
...
It will ultimately require that we discard the modern notion of
race, the biological fiction that there is something called a
"Black person" or a "White person" or an "Asian person."[/quote]
Thank you for finally using "". Why did you not use them
throughout the article, but only now?
[quote]The modern concept of race has been used too long to
enslave and exploit. As Audre Lorde, the poet and activist, once
said, "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's
house."[/quote]
This important principle also applies to how to defeat Yahweh.
But that is a separate discussion.
[quote]We can't get there, though, if we continue to
underestimate the resilience of White supremacy. It is a
shapeshifter that can adapt to any environment.
...
The US may indeed become a majority minority country around
2045. We may become a rainbow nation of varying racial
identities, skin tones and interracial unions.
But if we don't dismantle the racial hierarchy that gives status
and power to Whiteness, this new version of America won't really
be new.
It'll be just another updated version of White supremacy -- with
a tan.[/quote]
Exactly. Or, in our wording, Eurocentrists - of all ethnic
backgrounds - are the real problem.
But unlike relativists/egalitarians, we believe you cannot get
rid of one racial hierarchy without replacing it with a better
one. This is why anti-Eurocentrism needs Aryanism.
