The white genocide conspiracy theory is a white nationalist and supremacist conspiracy theory that mass immigration, racial integration, miscegenation, low fertility rates and abortion are being promoted in predominantly white countries to deliberately turn them minority-white and hence cause white people to become extinct through forced assimilation. The phrase "Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white", coined by high-profile white nationalist Robert Whitaker, is commonly associated with the topic of white genocide. It has appeared on billboards in the United States near Birmingham, Alabama and in Harrison, Arkansas. The conspiracy theory had already been purported in Nazi Germany by a pamphlet written for the "Research Department for the Jewish question" of Walter Frank's "Reich Institute" with the title "Are the White Nations Dying? The Future of the White and the Colored Nations in the Light of Biological Statistics".

Beliefs about the causes
The phrase first appeared sporadically in the Neo-Nazi publications White Power and WAR in the 1970s and 1980s, where it primarily referred to contraception and abortion. The conspiracy theory was developed by the Neo-Nazi David Lane in his White Genocide Manifesto (ca. 1995, origin of later use of the term), where he made the claim that the government policies of many western countries had the intent of destroying white European culture and making White people an "extinct species". Lane, a founding member of the organization The Order, criticized race-mixing, abortion, homosexuality, the legal repercussions against those who "resist genocide" and also the "Zionist Occupation Government" that he said controls the U.S. and the other majority-white countries and encourages "white genocide". It is rooted in "doctrines of universalism both secular and religious" according to Lane, and it may have been a factor that led to the murder of anti-Nazi Jewish talk-show commentator Alan Berg in 1984. Prior to his murder, Berg regularly taunted racists on his show.
While individual iterations of the conspiracy theory vary on who they assign blame to, Jewish influence, people who hate whites, and liberal political forces are commonly cited by white supremacists as being the main factors leading to a white genocide. This view is held by prominent figures such as David Duke, who cites Jews and "liberal political ideals" as the main cause. White nationalist Robert Whitaker, who coined the phrase "anti-racist is a code word for anti-white", uses "anti-White" to describe those whom he believes are responsible for the genocide of white people, and he has singled out Jews as a contributing force.
However, the view that Jews are responsible for a white genocide is contested by other white supremacist figures, such as Jared Taylor.

South Africa
Far-right and alt-right figures, such as singer Steve Hofmeyr have claimed that a "white genocide" is taking place in South Africa. The manifesto of far-right terrorist Anders Behring Breivik entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence devotes an entire section to an alleged "genocide" against Afrikaners. It also contains several other references to alleged persecution of whites in South Africa. Mike Cernovich, an American alt-right commentator has previously stated that "white genocide in South Africa is real." The survivalist group the Suidlanders has claimed credit for publicizing the issue internationally.
However, Africa Check, a fact-checking organisation has rejected the claims as false: "In fact, whites are less likely to be murdered than any other race group." Africa Check reported that while whites account for nearly 9% of the South African population they represent just 1.8% of murder victims. Lizette Lancaster from the Institute for Security Studies has said that "Whites are far less likely to be murdered than their black or coloured counterparts."
Discourse
Anders Behring Breivik's entitled manifesto makes frequent mention of an alleged ongoing genocide against white Europeans. In 2016, Donald Trump garnered controversy after retweeting Twitter user @WhiteGenocideTM, and @EustaceFash, whose Twitter header image at the time also included the term "white genocide". A 2016 analysis of his feed during the primaries showed that 62% of those that he chose to retweet in an average week followed multiple accounts which discussed the conspiracy theory, and 21% following prominent white nationalists online. Andrew Anglin of the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer said that "it isn't statistically possible that two ['white genocide' tweets] back to back could be a random occurrence. It could only be deliberate ... Today in America the air is cold and it tastes like victory."
Discussion threads on the white nationalist Internet forum Stormfront often center around the theme of white people being subjected to genocidal policies by their governments.
The notion of racial purity, homogeneity, or "racial hygiene" is an underlying theme of the white genocide discourse and it has been used by people with a neo-Nazi and white supremacist background.
The concept of white genocide has been popularized by the alt-right movement in the United States. Notable alt-right figures who promote the idea of a "white genocide" include Brittany Pettibone, Mike Enoch, and Alex Jones.
