if there is a great american novel, one that is thought to define the american sensibility, it is "the great gatsby," f. scott fitzgerald's masterpiece. in its opening page, one of its characters, tom buchanan talks about a fine book titled "the rise of the colored empires." >> have you read "the rise of the colored empires"? everybody ought to read it. >> the idea, tom explains, if we don't look out, the white race will be utterly submerged. >> the idea is that it's up to us, the dominant race to watch

out or these other races -- >> it's all scientific stuff. it's been proved, he says. fitzgerald might not have been endorsing these sentiments, the character who mouths them, tom buchanan, is one of the least admirable characters in the book, representing a certain kind of unthinking, vulgar rich man. and yet in 1921, just a few years before he wrote "the great gatsby," fitzgerald wrote a letter to a critic explaining his own views. the negroids sneak through. raise the bars of immigration and permit only scandinavians, anglo-saxons and celts to enter. fitzgerald seems aware his views were not politically correct. he adds in the letter, my reactions were all philistine and anti-socialist, provincial and racially snobbish. he persisted in his view of racial hierarchy. we are as far above the modern

frenchman as he is above the negro. the reason i begin with this literary reference is to remind us all how deeply embedded is the idea of racial hierarchy in weer in fact, in some ways it's in the dna of the modern west centuries, as europe grew richer and stronger, it began to assume that its material success must be a result of its superiority, religious or ethnic or racial. this view built on centuries of western success has taken deep root and not just among whites. people across asia and africa prefer light skin to dark. >> i realized an obstacle to obtain my dream job was my skin. >> and spent billions of dollars on creams to make them whiter. >> in the black community in the united states, there's a preference for lighter skin.

and ironically, this all persists despite the fact that we're now living in an age where the fastest growing economies in the world are asian, where china and south korea and india are demonstrating powerfully that they can be as materially successful as the whitest and most nordic people. the fact that these views are so deep seated, subconsciously part of the modern psyche is perhaps why we've been unable to see the growing danger in our midst. the number of white militants has grown sharply. >> white power! >> they have attacked more often and with greater brutality. and yet the authorities have always seemed to be surprised and unprepared. perhaps unable to fully internalize the nature of this ideology and its violent ambitions. it's important to understand as america and the western world

become more mixed, multicultural and multiracial, the backlash will grow. white supremacists want to do more than just protest. they make this clear in their internal communications. they are planning for it every day. let's hope we can all recognize this danger before they succeed. i'm fareed zakaria. thank you for watching.
