Then why use an analogy to the color "white"? Why even call it 'White nationalism' in the first place?

idk man, i really don't know the etymology behind the word. why choose white over peach or apricot etc.

what i can speculate is that it has something to do with the notion that white=purity and that paleness was thought to be a trait of beauty in europe, and was sort of a status symbol. i.e. most royalty were of lighter skin, either naturally or by powdering the face etc. and avoiding the sunlight. part of this probably ties to the white=purity thing and also the notion that a person who is dark skinned is a commoner who got that way by spending all his time working in the fields etc. this is common in many cultures around the world.

Give me a fucking break. Just look at the logo; german nazi font in white, Celtic Cross, the name itself, Stormfront (the symbolism of natural elements, such as storms, lightning etc.). You know damn well how much they glorify everything Nordic and Germanic - not to mention whiteness itself; blondeness, fair skin, bright eyes.

what do you expect? they are a white nationalist group that exalts hitler and nazism. of course they will favor germanic symbolism over others.

(Also, to say that it has "nothing" to do with skin-color is a bit exaggerated, dont' you think? I don't think you consider a dark person from india 'white' regardless of how european that person's features are, or what culture he/she has.)

i wouldn't consider a person from india "white" period. and neither would anyother white person i know. or black for that matter, or hispanic. or anyone i have ever met in my life ever. because india is not considered a white country.

^ I have no problem with all of that that. I just think it's somewhat hypocritical of them to call all europeans "white" when what they really mean is those of germanic origin.

you are trying to equate your perception (which is a false one from what i have been able to gather) of stormfronters and the likes idea of what is white with the ideal held by every other white person. most white people have no clue what the term germanic means, or who is included in it. all that counts is that they are european.

It's not designed for anything. 'White' refers to a white skinned person. Not my fault the definition has been perverted throughout history and become very subjective in nature. For example, Ayatollah of Iran is white but not European.

just because your people and arabs etc. had a similar term doesn't mean that the term used by americans and europeans is the same term, or that it holds the same origin. and in the grand scheme of things our term is the one that is used most often, so it doesn't matter really.

ayatollah definitely has the skin tone of a european, i dont debate you there. but he is still an iranian, and if you were to ask any average american citizen "do you consider a man who is from the middle east, is of middle eastern descent and is a muslim a white person" 99.99999% will say "fuck no", regardless of his coloration. other than his skin tone he shares absolutely no bond with white people whatsoever.
