Some nineteenth-century racists predicted non-white domination

Evidence

Unlike the Fascist racists of the twentieth century, the nineteenth-century racists were not necessarily triumphalist. The pessimistic Gobineau was not alone here and, for example, Fabre d’Olivet, an eccentric scholar who wrote about Hebrew and linguistic matters more generally, believed that in the long run the blacks, who were stronger, were destined to enslave the whites. — Robert Irwin, For Lust of Knowing, 308

Categorization

• XREF: Gobineau’s pessimism (from the previous paragraphs) — racial decline rather than triumph — inverts the usual association of racism with supremacist confidence.
