Who is White?

Does European (White) include the Slavs and Meds?

(15 min read, conclusions given below)

Introduction:

This article serves as a foundational starting point to determine who is European (or interchangeably known as White) for future reference for National Socialists. This article briefly touches on important topics to create a greater context to expand upon. This article is the first but will certainly not be the last, and will serve as an introduction on a long elaboration on how we can empirically classify the European races so we may eventually implement policies of effective segregation to racially protect Europe. A great task lies before us with our given access to modern genetic and anthropological technology which can use to fulfill the legacy left by our Nazi predecessors.

10 conclusions to this article:

- Introduction of Hans F.K. Günther and his role in setting the racial policies of the Third Reich (SECTION I)

- The term Aryan is left to us to define as a Pan-European label (SECTION II)

- Hans F.K. Gunther, the Race Pope, affirms that Slavs, Finns, Greeks, Romanians, and Italians are in fact European (SECTION II)

- Hitler accepted Günther's racial classifications of who is European (SECTION I & II)

- Modern genetic analysis agrees with Günther and Hitlers classifications on who is ethnically European (SECTION III)

- Determining who is ethnically European can only be stereotyped by geography to a limited extent, you must take each racial examination case by case (SECTION II & III)

- Any European country that borders a non-European country will always have some amount of mongrel hybrids due to natural wars and migrations (SECTION II & III)

- Hitler states that Europe is not only an ethnic definition, but also cultural (SECTION IV)

- Hitler pushes the fundamental principle that European sub-races should not inter-mix, just as the European races themselves should not mix with other non-European races (SECTION V)

- That although Europeans are different races themselves, they are ultimately more closely related to each other than to the other racial groups, and together they compliment each other to create Europa

SECTION I: Hans F.K. Gunther and Racial Classification in Nazi Germany

If we are to understand who is White, we need to look at the standard gauge in which racial groups were classified under inside of the Third Reich, and in particular, who brought about its popularity. One man sticks out amongst all others, who's racial contributions earned him the title Rassenpapst (Race Pope). This man was none other than Hans F.K. Günther. 

As a lifelong nationalist he studied at various anthropological universities and in 1922 Günther composed his racial exposition Rassenkunde des Deutchen Volkes (Racial Studies of the German People), in which he addresses the ambiguous use of the term Aryan. He temporarily accepts it as a word to define the Indo-European peoples who are the common ethnic ancestors of all modern ethnic Europeans. He then expands upon the details of the European sub-races, each being classified as their own race with specific behaviors and phenotypes. Additionally Günther expounds on an inter-European hierarchy, consisting from top to bottom; the Nordic, Dinaric, Alpine, and East Baltic sub-race. 

Two years after the release of Gunther's book in 1924, Adolf Hitler writes the second volume of his infamous literary work Mein Kampf and immediately within chapter two of volume two, we find the racial European sub-race classifications as expounded by Günther. 

(More on Hitler against inter-European mixing in SECTION IV)

There can be no doubt that Hitler adamantly in his early days read Günther's work. Günther himself joined the NSDAP a year before its seizure to power in 1932 and was party number 1,185,391. In 1935 he continued to expand his racial teachings as a professor at the University of Berlin and later that year was the first recipient for the NSDAP Prize for Science. Throughout the duration of the Reich he was given many awards, many of which were given to him directly by the Fuhrer. By 1934 the name of Hans F.K. Günther had been inscribed in the pantheon of National Socialist Science, and by 1945 his book Rassenkunde des Deutschen Volkes had sold more than 400,000 copies, making it the third best seller in Germany behind only to Alfred Rosenberg's Myth of the Twentieth Century (with over 1 million copies sold) and Hitler's Mein Kampf (with over 12 million copies sold) by the end of the second World War. 

Thus for the remainder of the Reich, not only did Günther's racial categorization of the European races become favored, but more importantly the racial philosophy he brought under the Nazi spotlight served to be the standard gauge of anthropological culture within the Third Reich and was allowed to flourish with its given attention.

Now that we have established the general background and credibility of the Reich's favored racial scientist, we can then learn who this Race Pope determined to be classified as European (White).

SECTION II: Who was European according to Günther (and therefore the Reich?)

The question itself remained empirically unanswered during the duration of the Third Reich, as it does even today. Evidence during that time was exhaustingly compiled and cross referenced in an attempt to produce definite answers with their best technology, which pales in comparison to the anthropological and genetic efficiency we have today. We can however, examine the foundation they have laid for us.

In 1927, five years after his first racial book, Günther writes another book detailing the races of Europe named Rassekunde Europas (english translation titled Racial Elements of European History). The book was published in 1927 and was translated to English immediately that same year.

In Rassenkund Europas, Günther explains that the term Aryan had been used by so many groups with so many different objectives, that a uniform definition has yet to be established. (similar to how Hitler explained that his goal was to monopolize and ultimately give a new universal meaning to the Weimar era word 'Völkisch' in Volume II, Chapter V of Mein Kampf). Günther writes:

"Philology used formerly often give the name of Aryan to the Indo-European languages; nowadays the term 'Aryan' is mostly applied only to the Indo- Persian branch of these. Racial investigation in the beginning sometimes called the (non-existing) white or Caucasian race Aryan; later the peoples of Indo-European speech were occasionally called Aryan; and finally the Nordic race also was termed Aryan.

To-day the term Aryan has gone out of scientific use, and its use is not advisable, especially since in lay circles the word Aryan is current in still other meanings, and mostly with a very confused application to the peoples who do not speak Semitic languages; the 'Semites' are then opposed to the 'Aryans.' The term  'Semites,' however, has been likewise given up in anthropology, since men and peoples of very various racial descent speak Semitic tongues"

The term Aryan itself was never solidified in its pan-European definition we use today which leaves the task up to us, National Socialist's, to define it's final definition.

Although particular hard cut definitions had remained undefined, a philosophy and mode of thought was cultivated and had permeated through the racial pioneers of the Third Reich who ultimately set the Reich's racial standards and dogma. The main rule kept in the forefront was in its essence simple. Racial identification can be assumed to broad geography, but racial identification actually requires a case by case examination. Günther makes it clear that when an established European country borders a non-European country (Spain, Italy, Greece, Ukraine, Belarus, Finland, etc.) there will naturally be some amount of genetic exchange due to wars and permitted migrations, and that this slight introduction of a strain may not apply to all of the inhabitants of that country. Günther writes:

"The east of Europe shows a gradual transition of the racial mixtures of  Central Europe into predominantly East Baltic, Hither Asiatic, and Inner Asiatic regions. Just as the Asiatic plant and animal kingdoms begin far west of the Ural mountains and river, so in European south Russia and in the Balkan Peninsula the appearance of the peoples begins to change; men of Inner and Hither Asiatic racial origin appear, becoming more and more frequent.

The north-east of Europe is mainly characterized by the predominance of the East Baltic race, the south-east by various transitions between the East Baltic and the Inner Asiatic and Hither Asiatic races. Owing to the likeness between East Baltic and Inner Asiatic bodily char­acters it will often be hard to fix a sharp boundary between these two races. 

We have to bear in mind that from 1237 to 1480 Russia was under the rule of the Mongols, and that these were only stopped in Silesia (the battle of  Wahlstatt) in 1241 by an army of German knights after having marched  through Poland."

After stating this fact he displays a map of the European sub-races and the different racial strains found in each respective country, with no notable non-European admixtures labeled in any of the fringe countries.

Gunther then goes on in the same chapter to explicitly describe the current ethnic identities of some of the most debated European countries at that time:

"The Lithuanians are a predominantly Nordic people with a strong East Baltic mixture...

The Letts are Nordic with an East Baltic mixture...

The Nordic-East Baltic Estonians, speaking a Finnish- Ugrian  language, are just as predominantly Nordic with an East Baltic strain, perhaps somewhat more so...

In Poland the decrease in Nordic blood and the increase in East Baltic,  Alpine, and Inner Asiatic as we go east seems to gather speed... In northern Poland there is, however,  still much Nordic blood, relatively speaking, and in the upper classes  throughout Poland..

The Finnish people, speaking a Finnish-Ugrian language, is predominantly  Nordic in the south-west and south of Finland, where, however, a  Swedish-speaking upper class of pre­ dominantly Nordic race is strongly  represented ; as we go north and east the Nordic blood dies away and  predominantly East Baltic districts begin...

In the Estonian and Livonian peoples, therefore, and above all in the  Finnish people, the phenomenon is often seen of a Nordic man speaking a  Finnish-Ugrian language. On the other hand, Russian, that is, an  Indo-European tongue, is spoken by many of the East Baltics, and by  men who belong by blood more to Asia than to Europe. Race and language  must be very sharply kept apart in Eastern Europe...

The Carpathians seem to have an Alpine-Dinaric mixed population. The  districts in the bend between the Carpathians and the Transylvanian Alps are Alpine-East Baltic-Dinaric with a Nordic mixture...

The Magyars are originally a people of East Baltic race with an Inner  Asiatic strain, and a slight Nordic strain, but which, since its settlement  where it is found to-day— that is, since the ninth century—has very greatly  changed its physical appearance through absorbing Alpine, Dinaric, and  Nordic blood.

The Cretan tribe of the Sphakiots, which has been distinguished for its  bravery in Cretan history, has kept a Nordic strain. They are mostly  tall, fair, and blue-eyed, and are held to be the remains of the Spartan  tribe among the Hellenes."

(To sum up; the Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, Polish, Finnish, Livonian, those in the bend between the Carpathian and Transylvanian Alps (Hungarians, Romanians), and Greeks are all free from any notable non-European admixture according to Günther)

We see that he took notice on the racial identities of hotly debated European groups, just as we must today in our modern nationalist circles.

But how well does Günther's statements hold true in the modern day?

SECTION III: MODERN GENETICS

With our modern technology we can clear up the confusion as to who in the list of suspected fringe countries, are empirically European (and therefore White).

To briefly explain, the definition of White requires the combination of three ancestral groups. Namely Western Hunter Gatherer (exclusive to Europeans only)¹, Early  European Farmer (shared with non-Europeans, Caucasus Hunter Gatherer (shared with non-Europeans), as well as acceptable traces of Northern  Eurasian (shared with non-Europeans)

The minimal genetic requirement to be European is to have at least >15% of your ancestral composition contain Western Hunter Gatherer which excludes literally all other non-European racial groups, and can only be obtained by a non-European through race-mixing. All other ancestral proportions in the modern European genome (Early European Farmer, Caucasus Hunter Gatherer, Northern Eurasian) can fluctuate. An added exception is that a European group can have <10% of Northern Eurasian. (The reasoning and history behind these tolerances go beyond the scope of this particular article, more on this will be created in the future.) Following these rules, lets examine who is genetically White and if Günther's assumptions are confirmed:

All European groups shown in this study have proportions of ancestral admixture that are within the tolerance of historical European groups. The only outlier being the Saami of Finland who have appropriated European genes through generational intermixing (same concept as the Ashkenazi Jews). They can be considered a suspect group.

We therefore have swiftly come into agreement with Günther's previous anthropological analysis about the racial homogeny within Europe. (Understand that this is but one of the many reinforcing studies that show the presence of these three ancestral admixtures and their proportions within Europeans).

However, not all European countries escape the suspect examination.

"While our three-way mixture model fits the data for most European  populations, two sets of populations are poor fits. First, Sicilians,  Maltese, and Ashkenazi Jews have EEF estimates beyond the 0-100%  interval (SI13) and they cannot be jointly fit with other Europeans  in the (SI12). These populations may have more Near Eastern ancestry than can be explained via EEF admixture (SI13), an inference that is  also suggested by the fact that they fall in the gap between European  and Near Eastern populations in the PCA of Fig. 1B. 

Second, we observe that Finns, Mordovians, Russians, Chuvash, and Saami  from northeastern Europe do not fit our model (SI12; Extended Data Table 3)." ²

We discussed that the Finns, Mordovians, and Russians have the Northern Eurasian admixture within proper tolerance of ancestral Europeans and that the Saami go far beyond it.

The second front in the paper is the Mediterranean, particularly Italy, where Sicilians and Maltese have higher admixtures of non-European (from the Levant and Northern Africa) that were never present in ancestral Europeans. 

Another source that compiles 257 different sources of both genetic and linguistic data on Europeans creates a familiar but confirmative grouping of the European peoples.

What does all of this mean?

It does not mean that if someone calls themselves a Sicilian or a Maltese, or even a Saami, that they are automatically a non-European, but that just as Günther stated, a racial examination should be performed to see if  they have any alien blood present in their appearance. The concept is to not accept someone because of their declared nationality but always on their actual racial (then cultural) composition.

To be living within these suspect countries or any country for that matter does not disqualify someone from being a racially pure European, it does however tell you that the probability of that person having non-European admixture is higher than if they were a mainland European.

SECTION IV: Adolf Hitler on the definition of Europe

After establishing where Adolf Hitler drew his general racial classifications from. We will now examine the empirical recordings left by the Führer on how he himself defined Europe.

Transcript:

"What is Europe? There is no geographical definition of our continent, but only an ethnic-national and  cultural one.

The frontier of this continent is not the Ural mountains, but rather the line that divides the Western outlook on life from that of the East... Wether it was from the German emperors fighting back invasions from the East on the Unstrut, or on the Lechfeld, or others pushing back Africa from Spain over a period of many years, it was always a struggle of a developing Europe against a profoundly alien outside world.

Just as Rome once made her immortal contribution to the building and defense of the continent, so now have the Germanic peoples taken up the defense and protection of a family of nations which, although they may differ and diverge in their political structure and goals, nevertheless together constitute a racially and culturally unified and complementary whole."

The first dimension to the European definition is that Hitler's definition of Europe is not only judged by geography or ethnicity, but also culture.

Transcript:

"If we add all our allies and those who fight on our side,

Romanians, Hungarians, Slovaks and Finns in the North, and

Spaniards, and so on, then we can truly say even today,

this is a European Crusade..."

This public speech only adds that he accepted those controversial countries (Slavic bloc) as apart of the greater European Crusade against the outer alien world he spoke of in his previous speech.

SECTION V: Hitler on inter-European racial mixing

Hitler makes it clear, using Günther's racial classifications, that the European groups (that is the widely accepted Nordic, Mediterranean, Alpine, Dinaric, and East-Baltic) should not be mixed, rather they should be preserved and cultivated in their own with the strongest of them leading the European conglomerate in the fight against the eternal Jew, the immortal enemy of the Aryan in this eternal struggle we call life. 

We will revisit Hitler's comments on the inter-European mixing that he observed to have occurred before his seizure of power.

"A grave drawback" to the mixing of European sub-races, followed shortly after with:

This is common logic, seeing that by preserving the individual sub-races of Europe we fight the Marxist idea of racial mixing throughout our own ranks and even within our secluded racial homeland. Just as there is behaviorally and phenotypical differences between major races (Caucasoids, Negroids, Mongoloids), there are also differences between the sub-races within each of those races themselves (European Caucasoid: Nordic, Mediterranean, Alpine, Dinaric, East-Baltic).

Keep Hitler's previous acknowledgment of the different races of Europe in mind when reading this passage:

Thus the goal is to preserve both our individual ethnic identities as well as our national European identities so that we may preserve the (true) diverse identity of Europe as whole.

There can be no doubt that both the Mediterranean countries of Spain, Italy, and Greece; as well as the Slavic bloc of Poland, Ukraine, and Romania, along with Finland, all constitute the European identity we all wish to preserve.
