This article presents multiple sources for understanding The Great Replacement Theory. I have assembled these quotes and links to educate the public.

I am aware of the dangerous rhetoric that is recited every day on Fox News that is steeped in this ideology. I am not surprised it has a strong audience in America. It has a strong audience in the EU as well.

Thanks, in advance, for reading —

Etymology

“The ‘Great Replacement’ is spreading like a virus” and seeping into mainstream, conservative, right-wing political discourse…”

— Rosa Schwartzburg

The “great replacement” theory is inherently white supremacist. It depends on stoking fears that a non-white population, which the theory’s proponents characterize as “inferior,” will displace a white majority. It is also antisemitic. Some proponents of the “great replacement” do not explicitly attribute the plot to Jews. Instead, they blame powerful Jewish individuals such as financier and philanthropist George Soros or use coded antisemitic language to identify shadowy “elites” or “globalists.” — Southern Poverty Law Center
