But, as Painter argues, during this period the U.S. was defined by more than one white race – the superior Saxons or WASPs (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants) and the inferior Celts or Irish. In the face of WW-I and anti-German fervor, “Nordics” replaced Saxons as the notion of the true white race. Groups the SPLC considers race-based total 450 groups and the other “hate” groups total 467. It’s unclear if the deepening sense of rage among a sizable number of “white” Americans will further metastasis. Sadly, if the economy stumbles into a crisis like that of 2007-2009, one can expect a further spike in the number of hate groups, including race-nationalists.
