Nordic race

Nordic youth

Nordic race typically refers to an in traditional racial anthropologyargued subdivision of the Caucasian race. According to traditional worldviews this Germanic race is one of the most competent of the races as culture-creators as well as the most moral and altruistic.

Nordic pride in the 21st century

Nordic people can be identified by their tall stature, blond to light brown hair, blue or blue-gray eyes, and dolichocephalic cranial index. The population of this racial type has sadly been on the decline in modern times.

Miscegenation

Mixing with the Mediterranean race has produced individuals with short stature and blond hair, dark hair and blue eyes, etc.

Races of Europe

Europeans can mainly be divided into four races:

• Nordic race (Germanic peoples, especially northern Germany and Scandinavia)
• Alpine race (prevalent among Celts and populations of the Alps)
• Mediterranean race (prevalent among Mediterranean and - to a lesser extent - Irish and French peoples)
• Dinaric race (prevalent among Balkans populations)

Some eugenicists closely follow the racial classification proposed by economist William Z. Ripley in his book The Races of Europe: A Sociological Study (1899). Ripley examined correlations between geography and measurements of the human body, called anthropometric data. Using that data, Ripley classified Europeans into three distinct races, whom he called Teutonic, Alpine, and Mediterranean, based on features such as stature, eye color, and skull shape.

Madison Grant made one major alteration to Ripley’s classification system, changing Ripley’s term Teutonic, a word associated with Germany, to Nordic. According to Andrew S. Winston, Grant did this to avoid anti-German sentiment of World War I, which was occurring at the time that Grant published The Passing of the Great Race.

Nordish race

The "Nordish race" is an argued race, related to the Nordic race, associated with Richard McCulloch.

Nordicism

Nationalistic Anthropologists still consider the Nordic—or Germanic—race, although declining oppression of other races (→ racism). The idea, also within the international eugenics movement, is once again on the rise in the 21st century, due to race-mixing and demographic genocide. The concept of a reborn “Germanic” or “Nordic” race is a leitmotif of those who fear the downfall of the European race.

Like in the first part of the nineteenth century, discussions on the origin and identity of the Germanic peoples nation are once again dominated by historians, linguists, and folklorists. Archaeology and physical anthropology have been added to the field of inquiry. The idea of a psychic unity of humankind has been exposed as a leftist political agenda.

Every year thousands board rickety boats, hide in the backs of trucks, planes, and container ships, cross miles of barren desert on foot . . . All to get themselves to a land where they can be ruled by a racial group far distant from their own. [...] While it’s not clear what mix of genes / language / culture has permeated the Germanic space, we have to draw lines somewhere. We consider ‘Teutonic’ all the descendents of NW European Germanic language speakers, including all of the British Isles and their offspring-states, Scandinavia (with Finland), Germany, Austria, and Benelux. (We do not include South Africa, as even though it was built and maintained by Teutons, the reins of power have now been passed to others.) Though we are always told that the global ‘South’ wants to migrate to the ‘North,’ the reality is more nuanced. Hundreds of millions of people from the third world would like very much to live under the rule of a Teutonic people. Why is this so? We shall turn to the indicators to try to understand.
