White supremacy symbol

Alright. But why are those a symbol of that?

They are often extremely muscular statues with god like bodies. The Romans and the Greeks themselves were believed to have painted them in all kinds of colors but along the way they came to represent whiteness as the most pure and perfect form. It's basically the literal version of whitewashing history.

There's also some worship of (an idealized form of) ancient Rome and Greece here. They see their particular theme park version as a peak example of a society unmarred by the millieu of things they consider dege[...]ate.
