This Mexican (Mexican american?) guy shoots up the mall in Allen Texas. He kills what, 8 or 9 people- seems like many were white.
So we don’t know if shooter thinks of himself as white. Victims are white in large part.
Washington post says he’s a white supremacist?
Is that in the khendi sense like you’re a racist if you aren’t an anti-racist?
Otherwise, I just don’t get it.

I would encourage you to read Latin American history. It's full of colonialism, the slave trade, and more recently, the mass emigration of actual many, many actual Nazis to South American countries. So it may actually make more sense for Latin America to have a white supremacy problem than for the US to have it. Indeed, the descendants of high ranking Nazis are largely Hispanic at this point.

He was inspired by white nationaliusm/KKK rheotic, regardless of his own identity.
I mean, Enrique Tarrio is head of the Proud Boys...what is he? Because the Proud Boys are white natonalists.

Do you have supporting data for the bolded? I'd be interested to see what you mean by "many, many" in terms of percentage of white Latin Americans.
Germans immigrated to Latin America at the same time they immigrated to the U.S. Some Nazis went to Latin America after the war, and some Nazis came to the U.S. after the war. But to wholesale suggest all Latin Americans of German descend are the descendants of Nazis is showing your ignorance and your personal prejudice. That's like saying all German Americans in the U.S. are the descendants of Nazis. Ridiculous and shockingly ignorant.
That's not what I'm saying at all. Re-read. Also, being a descendant of SS doesn't make you guilty of anything, so calm down.

None of them are WASPs. Also they are not regarded as white by WASPs.
They think of themselves as white but are not generally thought of as white by non-hispanic white people.
