DW News published this video item, entitled “Cas Mudde on political extremism and the origins of the racist Great Replacement Theory | DW News” – below is their description.
On Saturday, a far-right terrorist attacked a Black community in Buffalo, New York, killing 10 people. The 18-year-old man accused of carrying out the mass shooting had posted statements online sharing his plans, and ahead of the attack, he published a 180-page manifesto citing the Great Replacement Theory, a racist concept that a group of elites is trying to replace White Americans with non-White people for political reasons.
We speak to Cas Mudde,a Professor in the School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Georgia and the Center for Research on Extremism at the University of Oslo. He is a political scientist and expert on political extremism and populism.
