This concept suited the interests of Anti-Semites , since it provided a theoretical model to rationalise racialised anti-Semitism. Variations of the theory are to be found in the writings of many anti-Semites in the late nineteenth century. The Nazi ideologue Alfred Rosenberg developed a variant of the theory in his writings, arguing that Jewish people were not a "real" race. According to Rosenberg, their evolution came about from the mixing of pre-existing races rather than from Natural Selection . The theory of Semiticization was typically associated with other longstanding racist fears about the dilution of racial difference, manifested in negative images of Mulattos and other mixed groups. |
