The conspiracy theory was popularized by white supremacist , neo-Nazi , and convicted felon David Lane around 1995 . The phrase " anti-racist is a code word for anti-white , " coined by high-profile white nationalist Robert Whitaker , is commonly associated with the topic of white genocide . Similar conspiracy theories were part of the discourse in Nazi Germany , as exemplified in a pamphlet written for the " Research Department for the Jewish question " of Walter Frank 's " Reich Institute " with the title " Are the White Nations Dying ? The Future of the White and the Colored Nations in the Light of Biological Statistics . " The conspiracy theory has been expressed in Europe , North America , South Africa , Russia , and Australia . It has also been commonly used both interchangeably with , and as a broader and more extreme version of , Renaud Camus 's 2012 The Great Replacement , which focuses on the white Christian population of France . Since the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings , of which the shooter 's manifesto decried a " white replacement " and has named '' The Great Replacement '' ; author Bat Ye'or 's 2002 Eurabia concept , Camus 's 2012 Great Replacement fallacy ( often called replacement theory or population replacement ) , and Gerd Honsik 's resurgent 1970s myth of a Kalergi plan , have all been used synonymously with " white genocide " and are increasingly referred to as variations of the conspiracy theory
