You guys didn’t used to count people with names like Ivana or Melania as ‘white’
This is why Critical Race Theory needs to be taught in schools. Think of how far from fascism we would be if we all learned in primary school how “white” excluded the Irish, Italian, Jewish, etc. until it was useful to include them against people of color.

Nazi race theory changed multiple times throughout the war depending on which way the wind was blowing. It’s a feature, not a bug.
Right now white supremacy is a somewhat disparate ideology, so they can’t be too picky about who is and isn’t white. That comes after they seize power and make headway in driving out or killing off the targeted opposition.
