White supremacy

White supremacy is a reactionary, racist, pseudo-scientific position which views the "white race" as superior to other racial categories, which are viewed by white supremacists as inferior. White supremacists commonly subscribe to bigoted conspiracy theories which suggest that the "white race" is under threat from non-white populations as a mechanism to justify ethnic cleansing and genocide.

"Among the whites in the United States, it is only the reactionary ruling circles who oppress the Negro people. They can in no way represent the workers, farmers, revolutionary intellectuals and other enlightened persons who comprise the overwhelming majority of the white people. At present, it is the handful of imperialists headed by the United Slates, and their supporters, the reactionaries in different countries, who are oppressing, committing aggression against and menacing the overwhelming majority of the nations and peoples of the world. We are in the majority and they are in the minority." —Mao Zedong, August 8, 1963.
