"White Genocide" is a term used by neo-nazis to describe the ~fall of the white race~ via miscegenation, not an actual genocide #tmyk

"White genocide", while it may be a white supremacist shibboleth, is not widely known to the general public. Using implied definitions in a

To be fair, there's a lot of context around the term "white genocide" that I wasn't aware of before I heard about these tweets.

No but the ones that are are familiar with "white genocide." My point is we all live in bubbles. The web just lets them intersect a lot.

That's besides my point. Communicating in a way that you know will be misunderstood is pointless at best, and damaging at worst.

he clarified later that he was literally referring to the genocide of white people, specifically in Haiti

He is supporting the things the supremacists call "white genocide", i.e. immigration and interracial marriage.

"white genocide" = mixed-race couples having kids. I doubt he was seriously advocating violence, just trolling against white supremacists

He tweeted once the Haitan massacre was good and that's what kind of genocide he wanted.

He has said as much when asked about it. Though, he's said some other stuff that's kind of fucked up.

People who use the term are usually white nationalists equate immigration or "cultural marxism" to genocide.
