The racism of UFO conspiracies gets worse the deeper you go. For instance, it is a common belief that there are multiple races of aliens, but the really “good” ones are either the “Nordics” or the “Tall Whites.” They are generally described as being tall, white, blonde-haired and blue eyed.

Lmao that just sounds like regular terrestrial racism
I'm strangely proud of the effort these dummies put in to export their racism into the galaxy. Hell they're taking ancient tribalism and backwards ideals into the new era! Extrapolating and expanding on the concept when provided new information! Embracing rather than attacking science! Can religion claim the same?
/s here juuust in case
lol—so this is basically ‘God made white people special because Reasons’ for non-religious people I guess
This can also plague the religious, to be fair. Every one of these conspiracies has some level of fucked up gnosticism going on inside of it, usually.
