Race rationalized European domination while Herrenvolk justified intra-European hierarchy

Evidence

Race became largely the rationalization for the domination, exploitation, and/or extermination of non-“Europeans” (including Slavs and Jews). And we shall have occasion in Part II to explore its applications beyond Europe and particularly to African peoples more closely. But while we remain on European soil, it is Herrenvolk that matters. — Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism_ The Making of the Black…, 208

Categorization

• DEFINE: Distinguishes ‘race’ (rationalization for exploiting non-Europeans) from ‘Herrenvolk’ (intra-European domination myth) as related but distinct ideological constructions.
• ADDENDUM: The distinction between race and Herrenvolk as class/identity signaling parallels the dress- and beard-based status markers in the immodesty and sacrifice articles.
