Apparently, there are six types of white supremacists in the US.
"A Department of Homeland Security report, titled "Domestic Extremism Lexicon" (PDF), has been making the rounds on the Internet after being published last Thursday on the Daily Beast.
The final entry in the 11-page document notes that there are six
categories of "white supremacists" in the United States: neo-Nazi, Ku
Klux Klan, Christian Identity, racist skinhead, Nordic mysticism, and
Aryan prison gangs."
Most interesting is that,
"Missouri is a stronghold of Christian Identity adherents
while Southern California has a large population of racist skinheads.
The vast majority of Klan groups are located in the South and the
Midwest. Once they're out of jail, Aryan prison gangs tend to
congregate in areas where meth-their preferred product-is the drug of
choice."
