The white genocide, white extinction,[1] or white replacement conspiracy theory[2][3][4] is a white supremacist[5][6][7][8] belief that there is a deliberate plot, often blamed on Jews,[5][8] to promote miscegenation,[9] mass non-white immigration, racial integration, low fertility rates, abortion, governmental land-confiscation from whites, organised violence,[10] and eliminationism in white-founded countries[5] in order to cause the extinction of whites through forced assimilation[10] and violent genocide.[11][12][13][14] Less frequently, black people,[15] Hispanics,[16] and Muslims[17] are blamed, but merely as more fertile immigrants,[18] invaders,[19] or violent aggressors,[20] rather than masterminds of a secret plot.[21]
White genocide is a myth,[22][23][15] based on pseudoscience, pseudohistory, and hatred,[24] driven by a psychological panic often termed white extinction anxiety.[25][16] There is no evidence that white people are dying out or that they will die out, or that anyone is trying to exterminate them as a race.[26][27][28][29] The purpose of the conspiracy theory is to scare white people,[26] and justify a commitment to a white nationalist agenda[30] in support of increasingly successful calls to violence.[22][20][19] Proponents have killed hundreds and injured several hundred more since 2011.
The theory was popularized by white supremacist, neo-Nazi, and convicted felon David Lane around 1995, and has been leveraged as propaganda in Europe, North America, South Africa, and Australia. Similar conspiracy theories were prevalent in Nazi Germany[31] and have been used in present-day interchangeably with,[32] and as a broader and more extreme version of, Renaud Camus's 2012 The Great Replacement, focusing on the white Christian population of France.[33][34] Since the 2019 Christchurch and El Paso shootings, of which the shooters' manifestos decried a "white replacement" and have named The Great Replacement; author Bat Ye'or's 2002 Eurabia concept,[35] Camus's 2012 Great Replacement fallacy (often called replacement theory or population replacement),[36] and Gerd Honsik's resurgent 1970s myth of a Kalergi plan,[32] have all been used synonymously with "white genocide" and are increasingly referred to as variations of the conspiracy theory.
In August 2018, US President Donald Trump was accused of endorsing the conspiracy theory in a foreign policy tweet instructing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to investigate South African "land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers",[37][38][39] claiming that the "South African government is now seizing land from white farmers".[40] The often critical narrative derived from farm attacks, and land reform, is an established subset theme of the broader conspiracy theory,[26] portrayed in media as a form of gateway or proxy issue to "white genocide" within the wider context of the Western world.[41][40] The topic in relation to South Africa and Zimbabwe is also simply used interchangeably with the subject,[42] as well as being used by white nationalists as a parabolic concept, or cautionary tale,[43] to justify policies to retain or increase white majorities in nation-states, or otherwise maintain their vision of white supremacy.[44][40]
