I'm surprised how few people are aware of these things. I white supremacists get a bit more esoteric when they exclude all non-germanic people from being white than white supremacists are in the US.
Hold on, wait a minute, who said Germanic people are white??? Just listen to Benjamin Franklin:
“[T]he Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted.”
The ones I'm used to (Swedes) put the Nordics on top and look down on the Brits slightly, but they're still okay and the same with Germans (basically blonde and blue eyes only). It all depends on which people you want to make out as superior.
I think they've broadened the tent a bit in the last couple of decades, they used to hate Finns but now they're largely okay with them.

Oh yeah, Scandinavians looking down on Finns, this is some proper Varg Vikernes shit

On a sidenote, Finnish people apparently also wouldn't have been allowed to become citizens in the fucked up postwar European Nazi state Hitler was planning- we were considered too Asiatic or something. In this light it's kind of interesting the nazis in the NRM are, at least on paper, all about some fascist "pan-Nordic" state that includes Finland
To compensate, we have cultivated a whole mythology about Swedish men being a bunch of effeminate gay sissies that is unfortunately still going strong
