How about the fact that the "leader" of this proud boys LARP group identifies as afro-cuban and grew up in Miami. How delusional can you be to think that they are a white supremacist group? More processed media taken at face value by consumers.

A prominent German politician and his cabinet were hardly blonde-blue-eyed Aryan uber-mensch, but hypocrisy and lack of logic has never been much of an obstacle for racists.

It's quite possible to be a jew and an anti-semite, a woman and a misogynist, and a non-white white supremacist. It's easy, actually - just define an out-group that, for some contrived bullshit reason or other, doesn't include you.
