supremacist
Other forms: supremacists
A supremacist is someone who believes that one race, religion, ethnicity, or other group is superior to all others. In the 1960s, civil rights activists combatted the ideas and policies of white supremacists.
The word supremacist first appeared in the mid-20th century in the sense of "white supremacist," and that is still the most common use of the word. Supremacist comes from the word supremacy, "the condition of being superior to all others," and ultimately from the Latin word supremus, "highest." Supremacists believe they are the best, or highest, typically because of their race or ethnicity.
