Hitler’s racial ideology ranked all of Asia and Africa very low

Evidence

Racialists, not satisfied with merely proclaiming the superiority of the white over the coloured race, also felt it necessary to erect a hierarchy within the white race itself. To meet this need they developed the myth of the Aryan, or Nordic, superiority. The Aryan myth in turn became the source of other secondary myths such as Teutonism (Germany), Anglo-Saxonism (England and the United States), and Celticism (France). — Cedric J.

Indeed, while researching this chapter, I was unable to find any sustained discussion of Nazi racial policy toward the “Semites” as an inclusive category, that is, as a category that included Jews and Arabs in the first half of the twentieth century. — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 1215 (#complicates, via linked claim)
