It's an interesting pattern if you look at white supremacists. They put their PoC enemies below themselves but their white enemies above

White supremacists call PoC dumb, ignorant, animal like. They call white liberals snobbish, arrogant, out of touch

The white supremacist's earnest belief is their failures aren't bc of anything PoC did on their own, but bc other whites betrayed them
