:"Where known, use terminology that subjects use for themselves ([[self identification]]). This can mean calling an individual the term they use, or calling a group the term most widely used by that group."

== Origins of white supremacy == According to [[James Loewen]] in "[[Lies My Teacher Told Me]]", white supremacy originated during the [[Age of Discovery]], when [[Europe]]an nations were seeking an [[ideological]] [[justification]] for both the [[displacement]] of [[indigenous]] peoples and the [[enslavement]] of black [[African]]s. Slavery, anti-Semitism, and many other phenomena associated with white supremacy existed long before this, of course, but the sense that non-white peoples were innately biologically inferior seems to have come into being along with the changes in [[military]] [[technology]] and [[social organization]] which made it possible for European [[imperialists]] to conquer and/or [[colonize]] large portions of the world.
