Nordish race
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nordish race is a term coined by white nationalist Richard McCulloch referring to a theoretical sub-category Caucasoid subspecies.[1] McCulloch rejects Caucasoid as a race, because it is so expansive in its scope that it is meaningless. McCulloch considers it instead a "subspecies".[2] "Nordish" is a variant of the more established term "Nordic race" intended to bring a wider array of racial types under that umbrella. Indigenous Northern European peoples and their descendants around the world are said to be part of this race.
On his website The Racial Compact, McCulloch argues for "racial rights" and "racial preservation" in the face of encroaching "multiracialism." He focuses in particular on the rights of the "Nordish people."
Following Carleton S. Coon (1939), McCulloch's Nordish group encompasses several subtypes: Hallstatt Nordic, Keltic Nordic, Brünn, Borreby, Anglo-Saxon, Trønder, Fälish, North-Atlantid, Paleo-Atlantid, Neo-Danubian, East Baltic, Noric and Sub-Nordic. Even though there are different subraces with varying phenotypes, idealized traits of the race are light hair, light eyes, light skin, wide shoulders, long head and tall stature with big bones and heavy musculature.
