Used Book in Good Condition
I remember reading a book that belonged to my friend, called [Blood in the Face] (https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Face-Nations-Skinheads-Culture/dp/156025100X), which was a study of various Neo-Nazi and other white supremacist organizations throughout the US. (Say what you will about left-leaning social sciences majors, but god damn can they get some interesting little personal libraries going). Among the many photographs in the book was a detailed map of one white supremacist's new vision of America, with various ethnic groups given their own little swaths of the land. The Jews got NYC and Long Island, Cubans got South Florida, etc. Vermont would become a new nation called "Francia" to hold all the French-Canadians, who, uh, weren't white enough to be with all the other white people I guess.
Did a thesis on the rise of racist skinhead culture in the US and it’s origin and evolution (into a racist movement) in the UK, back in college (in the early 90s). While most of the research came from magazines, newspapers and videos, some books that were helpful included (off the top of my head):
Blood In The Face
Skinhead by Nick Knight
Subculture and CutNMix by Dick Hebdige
Also there was an incredible article on Bob Heick leader of the American Front and arguably I’d say one of the first guys to popularize the Nazi skinhead movement here in the US, published in Rolling Stone back in the late 80s. If you can find it I’d recommend tracking it down.

Good luck with your research
Well, if you actually do have an open mind, you should look into these resources:
You write:
> Asians are better scholars, and blacks are better athletes than whites, and yet you blithely say that "nothing in the physical makeup" of these people makes them more or less anything. I guess only the good things count.
No and no. It is you who are asserting false things without evidence on your side. You need to read more, and you need to experience more.
For me, the coin really dropped when I was tutoring a Chinese girl in Calculus when I was finally in a big college in a major city. Every Asian I had known until then in my provincial upbringing had been smart and engaging. I fully believed the stereotype of scholarly asians. Even there in college, my girlfriend at the time was Chinese and wicked smart. So I had "evidence" for my belief, but it was being contradicted by her stubborn inability to understand the math in front of her. It finally just hit me right then that this lady I was tutoring was kind of stupid as far as math went. Nothing wrong with that, but that was the moment that it hit me that the positive stereotype I had had was blinding me to the reality of the situation, and what she could literally understand.
I hope you'll consider what I've written, and read one or more of the books I've suggested. They've all been important to me.
