‘Race Science’ Is Inching Its Way Across the American Right

Summary

Nutrition label

71% Informative

Steve Sailer is one of the most prominent peddlers of race science in the U.S. The far right has long espoused outright racism and anti-Semitism, especially in the Trump era.

But more right-wing gatekeepers are shrouding that bigotry in a cloak of objectivity and pseudoscientific justification.

Nick Fuentes , a 26-year-old white nationalist, has repeatedly argued that white people are intellectually superior.

He has also made inroads with elected Republicans ; in 2022 , he dined with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago .

Race science is wrapped up in the right’s attack on Kamala Harris as the “ DEI candidate, not her intellect or experience.

Race science is used as a crowbar to try to overturn the idea that racism is bigoted.

Its adherents insist they are simply acknowledging a cold, hard truth about the world.

The allure of a supposed truth of racial statistics is about more than data, of course.

For certain white people, it can be appealing to believe that you have been shut out by a system that doesn’t recognize your genius.
