Over at StatNews is a story on a recent trend where low cost commercial DNA testing is resulting in a number of White Nationalists taking genetic tests, and sometimes they don't like the results that come back.
The article looks at research on how they respond to the sometimes unexpected results:
[...] In a new study, sociologists Aaron Panofsky and Joan Donovan examined years' worth of posts on Stormfront to see how members dealt with the news.
[...] About a third of the people posting their results were pleased with what they found. "Pretty damn pure blood," said a user with the username Sloth. But the majority didn't find themselves in that situation. Instead, the community often helped them reject the test, or argue with its results.
Some rejected the tests entirely, saying that an individual's knowledge about his or her own genealogy is better than whatever a genetic test can reveal. [...] Others, he said, responded to unwanted genetic results by saying that those kinds of tests don't matter if you are truly committed to being a white nationalist. Yet others tried to discredit the genetic tests as a Jewish conspiracy "that is trying to confuse true white Americans about their ancestry," Panofsky said.

I dunno man, today's Nazis are still saying what yester-decade's Nazis did
They've also committed 62 acts of terrorism since 2001 (compared to 23 by Islaminsts during the same time). [gao.gov]
When are white people going to admit they have a terrorism problem?

Oh plenty of white people are aware, but a large segment of the population tries to play it down.
I mean just look at the comments in this story and others that involve this shit, so many apologists and attempts to project the blame on to the victims of these white supremacy groups. Undoubtedly part of the reason why these groups also hate Islam so much, they see their own hatred reflected at them. As is common for humans they don't want to see their own darkness so they project it outwards and blame others. Whatever keeps them from having to deal with whatever psychological problems led them down the path of hate and fear.

Muslims kill people multiple times; right-wingers cry "ban muslims!", lefties cry "not all muslims!"
One white-nationalist kills one civilian; lefties cry "ban white nationalists!", right-wingers cry "not all white nationalists!"
Six of one, half-dozen of the other.

God, what massive faggotry. Conveniently ignore the fact that muslims commit deadly attacks of terror EVERY SINGLE DAY, the overwhelming majority of which are in their own hellhole countries so you don't count them. Then realize that 50 years of "white nationalist" terrorist attacks combined have a body count of less than one day of Muslim slaughter. You America-hating retards will do ANYTHING to achieve your goal, no matter how many dirty statistics like these you have to churn out.
