Asian supremacist groups?

Unfortunately, yes. Any ethnocentricity taken to an unreasonable level. Doesn't have to be race. Can be occupation, language, nationality, etc. I mean very unreasonable ... us versus them mentality. This is us. The rest is 'them'. Like George said. "You're either with us, or yore agin us."

Really?
Never heard of this.
There are not many foreigners living in Japan, are there?

Asians... They seem to be more peaceful, just observing the others fighting, in their mind laughing, in their body meditating...
At least most of them. I'm sure they learned they were not superior and should not try to act superior because they were slaved before. This is why black supremacy is rare, though it does exist.

Okay: Has anyone heard of Japanese/Chinese/Indian supremacy?
During World War II Japan had an ideology of supremacy, not sure about the Chinese.

I think in the context of nationalism, as mentioned earlier, in reference to Japan. Other than that I haven't run across any specific references to such things aside from the ever present beliefs, biases, etc. existent within all countries.

In China there is a concept of Han Chauvinism/Han privilege/Sinocentrism where the majority ethnic group, the Han Chinese are considered superior to the ethnic minorities. It's especially the case in Chinese-occupied Tibet where Tibetans are considered second or third class citizens.
Sinocentrism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since it "Han chauvinism/Han privilege/Sinocentrism" is basically the de-facto policy of the Chinese government (in the same way which White privilege is a de-facto policy of the American government), I guess you could consider the Chinese Communist Party as promoting "Asian supremacy".

Caucasian is also a whole lot of different peoples under one label, yet the two of you can still grasp the concept of white supremacy, right? Just take that, but replace "white" with "asian". Easy.

I found this to be very odd.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_supremacy#Alliances_with_white_supremacist_groups

The common denominator seems to be anti-semitism, which often makes for strange bedfellows. Hence why someone like David Duke got invited to Iran to make a speech at a Holocaust denial conference: not because the Iranian government necessarily agrees with the KKK, but because they share the belief that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

You don't mean to tell me that you also think that the U.S. government promotes "White supremacy" do you?
If anything, there are isolated incidents of anti-white discrimination that come from the government.

:yes: I haven't heard much about the Uyghur uprising lately have you?
In India a huge political force is a rising Hindu nationalism which certainly comes from ideals of racial superiority. I can't name one of these groups off-hand, they all have acronyms like KBG or GRC, etc. You often see them mentioned in news articles about racial/tribal/religious (often going hand-in-hand) tensions within India, though rarely by name.
