Could be, but this is not an American list. This is an international 
list that just happens to use some form of Pidgin English as lingua 
franca. "white" means caucasian and "nationalism" means the 
identification of a group with a political entity, so a "white 
nationalist" is a person of caucasian "race" (sic) who identifies with 
his own caucasian sub-group. Although modern nationalists now define 
themselves in terms of language and culture, not in terms of genome.

In terms of modern nationalism, an American is defined as everybody who 
lives on the left side of the pond, speaks English (but not the 
queen's), and survives on a diet of McDo (causing obesitas).
There, a cookie of your own dough.

For what it's worth, I'm feeding this entire thread to SpamBayes. I'm 
hoping that it will learn.
