There are no hard and fast rules, of course, but let’s consider a few useful guidelines for knowing when you’ve got a problem, just in case you’re thinking about a career in national politics.

1. The group was founded by David Duke.

2. Banners that say things like “White Power” hang from the ceiling.

3. The name of the group is the European-American Unity and Rights Organization.

4. The hotel hosting the event is ashamed.

5. No one actually cares about your tax stand.

One last bit of guidance: If you do end up accidentally speaking to a roomful of white supremacists, try to make a note of it somewhere, because eventually someone who doesn’t like you is going to figure it out, and the last thing you want is to be caught unaware and have to say you really have no idea.

If that happens, it’s not just the appearance of indulging pathetic, retro racism you’ll have to worry about, but looking like a fool, too.

5. I have often wondered how White Supremacists decided their race was superior ...

Pretty much everyone they claim as inferior had a much larger civilization and empire than them with greater technological advances at an earlier point in history. Heck, even the Britts owe much of their history to the Romans. It has always been a real head scratcher for me.

6. Well, because they themselves are white, of course

Same reason other ethnic supremacists think the same way.

"I am this race, so this race must be superior to all others."

9. Well, I think you need to actually SUCCEED in ruling the world for a century or two

before you can claim to be a superior race. It should be a requirement.
