When it comes to whether ethnocentrism is more-or-less universal, or whether it is mostly the domain of Europeans and maybe East Asians, I have noticed some of the forum's most right-wing members divided over the issue.
On the one hand, certain members like Teutone, The Lawspeaker and Smeagol argue that it is more-or-less universal, that non-whites are as capable of it as Whites, and that Whites can indeed be the victims of discrimination, prejudice and rejection by other ethnic groups. (The belief in universal ethnocentrism is broadly one I share too, especially given my chats with many non-Whites, as well as surveys I have read).
On the other hand, certain members like Blondie, Duffmann and Incal believe that many non-whites are not at all ethnocentric and, on the contrary, would rather date/marry White people than even people of their own race. (To me, this is basically like a right-wing version of the nonsensical 'White privilege' theory that comes mostly from silly Leftists).
Where I would concede that the latter camp are partly right - and probably people among the former camp would agree too - is that the majority of Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Amerindian-leaning Latin Americans etc. would find the idea of intermarrying with Whites to be less scandalous than intermarrying with Blacks. But that's the point: it is only a comparative, not a superlative.
