2. This passage is illuminating:

Nov 2016
In a self-explanatory guide to alt-right beliefs published on Breitbart in March 2016, Allum Bokhari and Milo Yiannopoulos said the movement sees culture and race as inseparable and believes “full integration” of races is impossible. “[S]ome degree of separation between peoples,” alt-righters believe, “is necessary for a culture to be preserved.” The article references, without criticism, Richard Spencer as one of the founders of the alt-right trend. The same Richard Spencer who coined the term “alternative Right” back in 2008 and recently said he envisions America’s future along the lines of a “renewed Roman empire,” complete with dictatorship and racial requirements for citizenship.


Given that the words "culture" and "race" are social constructs, this ideology fits well in the racial eugenics ideology and the various studies that purport to prove that there are hard-wired biological differences between the races. And given that race has no biological basis, that is a difficult task except for the fascist true believers.
