An alt-right rebranding of 'Scientific racism'. It is the pseudoscientific belief that empirical evidence exists to support or justify racism (racial discrimination), racial inferiority, or racial superiority. Since the second half of the 20th century, 'race realism' has persistently been used to support or validate racist world-views, based upon belief in the existence and significance of racial categories and a hierarchy of superior and inferior races.
Hey Jack, did you know 'race realism' was used by white slaveowners to justify Black African slavery in response to moral opposition of the Atlantic slave trade?
No, Todd, I didn't! I guess it's not that smart to pretend someone's race automatically makes stereotypes about them true.
