In Asia, Indians in Ancient India considered all foreigners barbarians. The Muslim scholar Al-Biruni wrote that the Indians called foreigners impure.The First Spring: The Golden Age of India by Abraham Eraly p. 313 A few centuries later, Dubois observes that "Hindus look upon Europeans as barbarians totally ignorant of all principles of honour and good breeding... In the eyes of a Hindu, a Pariah (outcaste) and a European are on the same level." The Chinese also considered the Europeans repulsive, ghost-like creatures, and they even considered them devils. Chinese writers also referred to foreigners as barbarians.The Haunting Past: Politics, Economics and Race in Caribbean Life by Alvin O. Thompson p. 210

Centuries of European colonialism in the Americas, Asia, Africa and Oceania were justified by Eurocentric attitudes as well as sometimes by white supremacist attitudes.Takashi Fujitani, Geoffrey Miles White, Lisa Yoneyama, [https://books.google.com/books?id=Ltm9hv0_4A0C Perilous memories: the Asia-Pacific War(s)], [https://books.google.com/books?id=Ltm9hv0_4A0C&pg=PA303 p. 303], 2001.

During the 19th century, "The White Man's Burden", the phrase which refers to the thought that whites have the obligation to make the societies of the other peoples more 'civilized', was widely used to justify colonial policies as a noble enterprise.{{cite book |author=Miller, Stuart Creighton |title=Benevolent Assimilation: The American Conquest of the Philippines, 1899–1903 |publisher=Yale University Press |year=1982 |isbn=978-0-300-03081-5 |page=5 |quote=...imperialist editors came out in favor of retaining the entire archipelago (using) higher-sounding justifications related to the "white man's burden.}}{{cite journal |author=Opinion archive, International Herald Tribune |date=February 4, 1999 |title=In Our Pages: 100, 75 and 50 Years Ago; 1899: Kipling's Plea |url=http://www.iht.com/articles/1999/02/04/edold.t_10.php |journal=International Herald Tribune |page=6}}: Notes that Rudyard Kipling's new poem, "The White Man's Burden", "is regarded as the strongest argument yet published in favor of expansion."

According to William Nicholls, religious antisemitism can be distinguished from racial antisemitism which is based on racial or ethnic grounds. "The dividing line was the possibility of effective conversion ... a Jew ceased to be a Jew upon baptism." However, with racial antisemitism, "Now the assimilated Jew was still a Jew, even after baptism ... . From the Enlightenment onward, it is no longer possible to draw clear lines of distinction between religious and racial forms of hostility towards Jews... Once Jews have been emancipated and secular thinking makes its appearance, without leaving behind the old Christian hostility towards Jews, the new term antisemitism becomes almost unavoidable, even before explicitly racist doctrines appear."Nichols, William: Christian Antisemitism, A History of Hate (1993) p. 314.

One of the first typologies which was used to classify various human races was invented by Georges Vacher de Lapouge (1854–1936), a theoretician of eugenics, who published L'Aryen et son rôle social (1899 – "The Aryan and his social role") in 1899. In his book, he divides humanity into various, hierarchical races, starting with the highest race which is the "Aryan white race, dolichocephalic", and ending with the lowest race which is the "brachycephalic", "mediocre and inert" race, that race is best represented by Southern European, Catholic peasants".{{Cite book |last=Hecht |first=Jennifer Michael |title=The end of the soul: scientific modernity, atheism, and anthropology in France |publisher=Columbia University Press |year=2003 |isbn=978-0231128469 |location=New York |page=171 |oclc=53118940}} Between these, Vacher de Lapouge identified the "Homo europaeus" (Teutonic, Protestant, etc.), the "Homo alpinus" (Auvergnat, Turkish, etc.), and finally the "Homo mediterraneus" (Neapolitan, Andalus, etc.) Jews were brachycephalic just like the Aryans were, according to Lapouge; but he considered them dangerous for this exact reason; they were the only group, he thought, which was threatening to displace the Aryan aristocracy.{{Cite book |last=Hecht |first=Jennifer Michael |title=The end of the soul : scientific modernity, atheism, and anthropology in France |date=2003 |publisher=Columbia University Press |isbn=978-0231128469 |location=New York |pages=171–172 |oclc=53118940}} Georges Vacher de Lapouge became one of the leading inspirations of Nazi antisemitism and Nazi racist ideology.See Pierre-André Taguieff, La couleur et le sang – Doctrines racistes à la française ("Colour and Blood – Racist doctrines à la française"), Paris, Mille et une nuits, 2002, 203 pages, and La Force du préjugé – Essai sur le racisme et ses doubles, Tel Gallimard, La Découverte, 1987, 644 pages

Following the war, a hate group, known as the Ku Klux Klan, was founded in the American South, after the end of the American Civil War.

{{Further|Nazi racial theories|Racial policy of Nazi Germany}}

From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany, under the rule of Adolf Hitler, promoted the belief in the existence of a superior, Aryan Herrenvolk, or master race. The state's propaganda advocated the belief that Germanic peoples, whom they called "Aryans", were a master race or a Herrenvolk whose members were superior to the Jews, Slavs, and Romani people, so-called "gypsies". Arthur de Gobineau, a French racial theorist and aristocrat, blamed the fall of the ancien régime in France on racial intermixing, which he believed had destroyed the purity of the Nordic race. Gobineau's theories, which attracted a large and strong following in Germany, emphasized the belief in the existence of an irreconcilable polarity between Aryan and Jewish cultures.Blamires, Cyprian; Jackson, Paul.

For example, in their analysis of the sources of the conflict, Julie Flint and Alex de Waal say that Colonel Gaddafi, the leader of Libya, sponsored "Arab supremacism" across the Sahara during the 1970s. Gaddafi supported the "Islamic Legion" and the Sudanese opposition "National Front, including the Muslim Brothers and the Ansar, the Umma Party's military wing." Gaddafi tried to use such forces to annex Chad from 1979 to 1981. Gaddafi supported the Sudanese government's war in the South during the early 1980s, and in return, he was allowed to use the Darfur region as a "back door to Chad". As a result, the first signs of an "Arab racist political platform" appeared in Darfur in the early 1980s.Flint and de Waal, Darfur: A New History of a Long War, rev. ed. (London and New York: Zed Books, 2008), pp. 47–49.

In 2002, Joseph Massad said that Israel imposes a "Jewish supremacist system of discrimination" on Palestinian citizens of Israel, and that this has been normalized within the discourse on how to end the conflict, with various parties arguing that "it is pragmatic for Palestinians to accept to live in a Jewish supremacist state as third class citizens".{{cite journal |title=On Zionism and Jewish Supremacy |author=Massad, Joseph |journal=New Politics |volume=8 |issue=4 |page=89 |url=https://www.proquest.com/scholarly-journals/on-zionism-jewish-supremacy/docview/194900450/se-2}}{{cite news |last1=Shahadeh |first1=Sami Abou |title=So Long as Israel Enshrines Jewish Supremacy in Law, It Can't Be a Liberal Democracy |url=https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2021-07-14/ty-article-opinion/.premium/israels-embrace-of-jewish-supremacy-means-it-cant-be-a-liberal-democracy/0000017f-da73-dc0c-afff-db7bea450000 |access-date=20 December 2024 |publisher=Harretz |date=14 July 2021}}
