White genocide myth
Since the European migrant crisis happened in 2015, the White genocide conspiracy theory[a] has become popular among Neo-Nazis and White nationalists.[1] Under the theory, Jews are accused of encouraging non-white immigration to change the ethnic composition of White-majority countries.[2] This conspiracy theory is often spread along with other antisemitic tropes,[1][2] especially ideas from the well-known forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, to make it sound real to those who are already antisemitic.[1][2]
Causes
Many believers of this conspiracy theory reportedly have an extinction anxiety about the majority White population possibly becoming the minority in their own country.[3] Ethnic minorities in their countries are sometimes considered "foreign" and "incompatible with the mainstream".[3]
Examples
In the United States (US), Elon Musk, Twitter's current owner, has been accused of agreeing with the theory.[4] There were also several terrorist attacks committed by those who believed in this theory, including the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, where 11 were killed and 7 injured.[5]
