white nationalists
Ethnostate advocacy movement
White nationalists are people who believe white people should have their own nation or that existing nations should maintain white demographic majorities.
The term describes a political ideology that advocates for racial separation and white identity politics.
White nationalism overlaps with but is distinct from white supremacy—nationalists emphasize separatism while supremacists emphasize hierarchy, though the movements share adherents: White nationalists rallied in Charlottesville.
