Ninjagoist racial theories

Ninjagoists of ShitCraft IV and V adopted and developed various pseudoscientific racial classifications to justify discrimination, expulsion and even mass-murder of people they deemed racially inferior. Ninjagoists believe the Ninjagoans to be a superior "master race", while defining westerners as "sub humans". These beliefs stemmed from the Way of the Ninja religion, westworldophobia and anti-Vaushism.
== Racial hierarchy ==
Ninjagoists has never held a de facto strict view of a racial hierarchy, as it has shifted a lot between the years. While they have always viewed Ninjagoans to be at the top. Initially, Ninjagoists only viewed westerners to be inferior to themselves. When the Land of the First Spinjitzu Master theory was put into practice, a new racial map and hierarchy was created for the Asia-New World.
=== Ninjagoans ===
Ninjagoists believe Ninjagoans, an East-Asiatic ethnic group native to Ninjago proper, to be a "master race", being ranked the highest in the racial hierarchy as they are believed to possess the highest levels of "Oni and Dragon blood". This stems from the belief that their ancestors were created by The First Spinjitzu Master and therefore are godly in nature. They are also believed to be free of evil unlike westerners who are seen as devoid of good, as they believe non-Ninjagoans being the creation of the Overlord.
=== Nigeruans ===
Modern anthropological sciences prove Nigeruans are related to the Ninjagoan settlers of the Nigeruan isles during the Garmadon Restoration. In ShitCraft IV, when the Ninjagoan colonialists discovered the isles, the Nigeruan people were quickly remarked to be close relatives to Ninjagoans and were designated as near Ninjagoan or fully Ninjagoan. They were also believed to be proof of the Land of the First Spinjitzu Master theory for being in distant lands with similar cultures. The Nigeruan culture is more closely related to the Garmadon Restoration era of Ninjagoan culture, mixed with the native Tagalog population.
=== Honorary Ninjagoans ===
==== New Worldians ====
New Worldians were initially seen as a strategic target of the the Empire of Ninjago to get a better footing in the New World as New Worldians were not too welcoming to the ShitCraft IV great powers. Kareastikuru wrote in Watashi no Tatakai, that the New Worldian races, especially the Jitzuans, have many similarities with Ninjagoans and therefore must have the same origin but have evolved differently due to years of separation after the "Overlord split".
==== Arvidlandians ====
The Arvidlandians were recognized as honorary Ninjagoans during ShitCraft IV after Gnome_Lord had declared Arvidland to be yohanian nashi (been rid of Johanian people through the Kurenjingu). Kareastikuru had previously held positive views of the Arvidlandians and wrote in Watashi no Tatakai that the Arvidlandians had a great racial Ninjagoan component and could easily integrate to Ninjagoan society. Their relations increased after both joined the Axel alliance and even more later when Arvidland aided in the Kurenjingu.
Since Arvidlandian is a biethnic nationality or ideological identity, based on Koreans and Gulandians, it has been noted that Ninjagoists generally refer the Koreans as Arvidlandians, as Ninjagoists also generally dislike Gulandians. However, they have been more positive to the "Northern Gulandians", also referred to as the Manchurians.
==== Jamalians ====
Near the End of ShitCraft IV, Ninjago declared the Malagasy people to be honorary Ninjagoans as propaganda against the Johanian Republic. In short, after the international Jamal Black controversy, Ninjago "discovered" that Madagascar was once part of The First Spinjitzu Master Land and "proved" that the Malagasy people were actual Ninjagoans. They tried to prove their theories to the United Nations by selectively using mainstream sciences, such as that the ethnic group originating in Asia and that Madagascar had once been part of India during Pangea by referencing the hypothesis of continental drift, while ignoring the fact that Eurasia existed on the opposite end. Internally, the phenotype differences was explained by stating that Kareastikuru and Garmadon also had dark skin coloration and it was due to a higher percentage of Oni-blood.
Jamal Black was lifted as a Ninjagoan spiritual deity and is remembered every year on the Day of Jamal Black and the Day of the Departed. This despite the fact Black was actually not of Malagasy descent. In ShitCraft V, Ninjago regained their Madagascar territory and named it after Jamal Black; Jamalia, and forced all local Malagasy people to refer themselves as Jamalians. All Ninjagoan text books and maps have been rewritten to include the name change of the entire island.
Despite the title, Jamalians are not allowed to enter other Ninjagoan lands and are prohibited to intermix with Ninjagoans. Kareastikuru added in Watashi no Tatakai:Ninjago's interests in the far west has long since expired. However, Ninjagoan land should still be inhabited by Ninjagoans and Ninjagoans should always be protected ... The Jamalian people is a far western Ninjagoan people which has adapted well to the Jamalian climate and should proudly remain there.
=== Asians ===
See also: Greater Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere
During ShitCraft IV, Ninjago was extremely hostile to non-Ninjagoan Asians, with exception of Nigeruans, Orochs and Arvidlandians, due to their alliance, as well as Formosans (Taihokuans) due to propaganda. Many Asians became victims of the Kurenjingu, especially in South Eastern Asia. 
The narrative shifted in ShitCraft V, where Ninjago instead started to pursue "Asian-Pacific cultural and economic unity" or Pan-Asianism, by exploiting structures built during ShitCraft IV and the terrors committed by 7th Heaven and the United Nations. While the strategy has in most part worked well for Ninjago, the recent memory of the Kurenjingu still remains in Asia.
==== Orochs ====
Ninjago was closely allied to Orochi during ShitCraft IV and Kareastikuru has publicly complimented the "Oroch race" multiple times, mainly for being similar as a warrior people. However, he has also criticized the Orochs, stating on several occasions:Don't be fooled by the Oroch orientalism and friendliness towards us, they are indeed descendants of Morians, a western people ... Orochi has interests in the lands rightfully belonging to us. We are of course willing to compensate for the aid they have given us, but their influence has reached a threatening level ... While I'm happy for our current friendship, Orochi is a Ninjagoan security risk and a future foe to Ninjagoan hegemony ... The Oroch people has devolved themselves through their technological advances. Rejecting a gender binary for a gender unary is un-human and stands directly against our values.It was noted that after the Empire of Ninjago fell, the United Nations found documents stating that the Oroch people would be lifted to the status of "honorary Ninjagoans" if they had been victorious in the battle of Taipei.
After the Oroch population had been reduced to 10% by the 7th Heaven, Kareastikuru shifted his views of the Oroch people, stating his condolences to the people and said he would avenge them. This lead to the creation of the Reorganized National Government of Free Orochi, which despite its name is majorly inhabited by Ninjagoans. 
==== Lizardasians ====
The Lizardasians, were included in the Ninjagoist list of "East Indians" who were designated as a Gulic-Indic and a Hollandic mix and had a large western component. They became subjects of the Kurenjingu, and their lands became heavily exploited by Ninjago. Lizard Kingdom was created in the aftermath of ShitCraft IV, and became a fast growing economy. It integrated the local Gulandians, Arvidlandians, Orochs, Ninjagoans, Lizardasians and other ethnic groups of Sumatra into the Lizardasian identity. Ninjago, who had interest in the region had to adjust its policy to gain Lizardasian trust, and therefore banned anti-Lizardasian terminology.
Ninjago attempted to get better relations by 'apologizing' for the "Kurenjingu incident" but it was ultimately ignored. However, their relations did become fairly well near the start of ShitCraft V but it quickly deteriorated when Ninjago and Lizard Kingdom gained a dispute over the Malay peninsula and even further during the Ninja-Lizardasian war. Kareastikuru had hoped Lizardasia would fall under Ninjago like Nigeru had, and designate the Lizardasians as "honorary Ninjagoans" for their similarities and great Ninjagoan component (especially after ShitCraft IV) referenced in an interview with Jay Walker.
While the Lizard Kingdom eventually joined Ninjago's cultural and economic sphere of influence, it is widely known Ninjago had expected more. In an interview with Postman, he was asked about his views on the Lizardasians and his only comment was: "stubborn".
==== Tibetans ====
See also: Free Tibet
Previously, Tibetans were categorized by Kareastikuru as Gulandians. However, after ShitCraft IV and the Free Tibet movement became massive following previous Oroch and Gulandian occupations and the current genocidal occupant of 7th Heaven, Ninjago saw the Free Tibet idea as a strategic geo-political opportunity. In Ninjagoan literary, Tibetans shifted from being described as Gulic, to a completely separate "distinctly Ninjagoan" warrior class and survivalist people. Ninjago gave economic aid to the Free Tibet movement and the Provisional Government of Free Tibet. Finally, when the government was set up, it was almost exclusively backed by the Balance Pact and the movement had shifted further towards Ninjagoist cooperation. This was something the leaders of the Free Tibet movement was against, whose wherabouts after the Free Tibet state was created, are still unknown.
==== Indic: Indians and Bengali ====
See also: Bengal
Much like the Tibetans, Ninjagoists only gained interests in the Indian and Bengali people after ShitCraft IV, and the threat of a 7th Heaven occupation. Like the Orochs, they are viewed by Ninjagoists as descendants of the Morian people and thus seen as western. While Ninjago's interest in the Indian sub-continent was almost completely abandoned following the Lizardasian colonization and entrance in the Greater Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere, Ninjago still had a strategic point in the Bengal region, both for splitting the Lizardasian land claims in half and to stop 7th Heaven interests in the Indian Ocean. To gain the Bengali support, Ninjagoists silently dropped the Morian idea and high standing Ninjagoist figures expressed how the Bengali are Asians and that Asia is for Asians. 
==== Gulic: Gulandians, Indogulandians, Mongols and Turks ====
See also: Provisional Government of the Republic of Guland, Chugoku, Indochugoku and Kanawaga
Ninjagoists has viewed Gulandians since ShitCraft IV as lesser compared to themselves, despite being far more genetically similar than to for example Native New Worldians. The renounced scientist in Ninjago, Asimov's biological paper; "Taxology of Asia" of 2020 he wrote:Gulics, unlike other Asiatic races, are inherently inclined towards Vaushism, proving their direct and large Johanian racial component.Many believe the Ninjagoist hate towards Gulandians is simply due to the fact, both are interested in the same lands. While Ninjago has larger ambitions, these ambitions could not be achieved without a strong continental settlement and administration. The main-land which happened to lay closest to Ninjago happened to be Guland and therefore the entire people got discriminated against. Similarly could be said for the Indogulandian peninsula and the Indogulandian peoples.
Ninjagoist views have however shifted, where some "Gulic races" are viewed as racially superior to the other. For instance, Ninjagoists view "anti-Gulandian" "Gulic races", (communities of ethnicities related to Gulandians who wants to be independent from Guland) such as Mongols, Turks and lately Manchu, as more racially superior.
=== Westerners ===
See: Westworldophobia
Ninjagoists categorizes all people of African, Middle Eastern and especially European descent as "westerners", which to them is ranked as the lowest racial class of them all and were the main targets of the Kurenjingu.
==== Master race of the west ====
The concept of the "master race of the west" (Ninjagoan: Seiyō kenryoku-sha, 西洋権力者) or "master race of the occidental" is a ShitCraft V Ninjagoist phenomenon, which was specifically created to show the racial superiority of Johanians over other western races. Being ranked as the polar opposite of the Ninjagoans, this has been seen as very contradictive. The idea originated in the inter-ShitCraft (IV-V) period, during Kareastikuru's exile in the Vaushist State. There, he cooperated with the pro-Johanian Republic Anti-UN rebellions and created plans for cubal domination, which involved splitting ShitCraft in two spheres of influence. He justified the alliance in Watashi no Tatakai: Vol 3, stating:We have seen the villainy of Johanians in our past and we know how dangerous they can be. It is clear their wicked schemes have benefited them greatly and made them the most influential people among all westerners. They are our counterparts, the yang to our yin. We must exist in balance for ShitCraft to be at peace. Furthermore, I can not longer ignore the fact that they, like us, are related to The First Spinjitzu Master, being descendants of the Johanians born by his shadow. While the rhetoric has fairly remained the same, Ninjagoists has started to accept Johanians more. Kareastikuru was initially very skeptical to have Myjohanian representatives on Ninjagoan soil, where all westerner visits were banned until late July 2021 when the first Myjohanian Union embassy was built in Ninjago City.The embassy was inhabited by Bernie von Beem. Gradually Ninjago accepted more temporary visits. Due to the various LONESCO Heritage sites in Ninjago, it became a popular tourist destination in April 2022 after Ninjago had announced new tourist laws.
