supremacist
Believes group superior
A supremacist believes their group is inherently superior to others and should dominate them.
The term appears most often in white supremacist, describing those who believe white people are superior to other races, but it applies to any ideology of group dominance: male supremacist, Christian supremacist.
The word carries strong negative connotations—it's a label applied by critics, rarely claimed proudly.
