White nationalism is a type of racial nationalism or pan-nationalism which espouses the belief that white people are a race^[1] and seeks to develop and maintain a white racial and national identity.^[2][3][4] Many of its proponents identify with the concept of a white ethnostate.^[5]

White nationalists say they seek to ensure the survival of the white race and the cultures of historically white states. They hold that white people should maintain their majority in majority-white countries, maintain their political and economic dominance, and that their cultures should be foremost in these countries.^[4] Many white nationalists believe that miscegenation, multiculturalism, immigration of nonwhites and low birth rates among whites are threatening the white race.^[6]

Analysts describe white nationalism as overlapping with white supremacism and white separatism.^{[7][4][6][8][9][10]} White nationalism is sometimes described as a euphemism for, or subset of, white supremacism, and the two have been used interchangeably by journalists and analysts.^[8][11] White separatism is the pursuit of a "white-only state", while supremacism is the belief that white people are superior to nonwhites and should dominate them,^[6][8][9] taking ideas from social Darwinism and Nazism.^[12] Critics argue that the term "white nationalism" is simply a "rebranding", and ideas such as white pride exist solely to provide a sanitized public face for "white supremacy", which white nationalists allegedly avoid using because of its negative connotations,^[13][14] and that most white nationalist groups promote racial violence.^[15]
