I'm pretty sure the short answer is: "Well, 4chan, right?". But it goes a bit beyond that.
If there's something that I have learned is that your standard :le-pol-face: is nearly IDENTICAL to ISIS, it's just a matter of whether they want to be a Christian CHUD or a Muslim CHUD. Osama Bin Laden was found to be a fan of anime too, among many other ISIS/al Quaeda members. Hell, ISIS members are frogposters just as much as "defend the west" CHUDs. There's a joke online about how fashy a lot of weebs are and I really don't understand it.
Anime is Japanese and Japan fought on the side of the axis is the only connection I can think of, but it's not like Japanese people are considered white in the US, the country that these hogs apparently love so much. Hell, hogs demonized the FUCK out of Japan in the 70s and 80s too despite being a fellow capitalist nation. Now they're coming around?
Also, look at two of the most popular anime: Pokemon is pretty pro-environment and Dragon Ball Z: where Frieza talks almost identically to your average chanbrain and was inspired by real estate speculators because of how evil they are.
Is there a deeper connection besides "4chan lol"?
Not really? They're kind of barbarians, like in the D&D sense. They're not "good" or anything to aspire to, they're just slightly above-average fighters. If they feel enough righteous fury they can access a form which makes them very above-average fighters, at the cost of even more of their already fragile emotional state. And if they get enough D&D good-aligned saiyans together and believe hard enough they can perform a religious ritual to turn one of them into a ... god? Demigod? What is even a god in Dragon Ball is kind of unclear.
But yeah saiyans were never supposed to be some kind of ideal. For most of the known history of Dragon Ball they were going around committing genocides, not even for some fucked up cause they believed in, but for money.
