I’m not disagreeing, but it seems to me I’ve known of white supremacist groups that do want other races to exist, but as subjugated classes.

not OP, but at least in Europe the raceless racist trope is more common, particularly among liberals. in one breath they'll say that the concept of race is pseudoscience (true), but then conclude that this means racialisation doesn't happen (uhhh). then in that same breath they'll say that people from Muslim countries are destructive radicals who are 'incompatible' with European culture, which is almost neo-racist, until you realise that they don't know what a 'Muslim' 'looks' like, and that in practise it's 'anyone with dark hair and/or a von Luschan index higher than 20'.

it's not that they want to subjugate brown people: it's that they wish they had never existed, and that they could never see them again. but the people they vote for to accomplish this do want to subjugate brown people.

before you know it: the group of 'incompatibles' has grown to encompass 2/3 of the world's population by hair colour and skin index alone, and antisemitism is back on the table. but they believe in nonviolent democracy and the 'rule of law' and eat organic so it's ok.

sidenote: this is why a lot of far-right supremacist groups in Europe tend(ed) to be more about (national) ethnicity than race. historically, even people from neighbouring countries were parasitic 'others' to be corralled and expelled.

Ah yes this makes sense from this perspective, and certainly this ideology has also been prevalent in the US, especially regarding groups like Native Americans. And perhaps eradication is the ultimate conclusion of any form of white supremacist movement, starting with subjugation and proceeding from there.
