I am not sure what being the most Northern has to do with it. If that was the case, the Sami people would be the most superior, but they are the Scandinavian equivalent of Native Americans.

a white nationalist might argue that the positive white stereotypes are true and the negative ones (which are what you're referring to) are false. If you're so determined to go around telling everyone that the negative stereotypes are true, then you have to actually provide evidence for them, otherwise we can assume you're just another resentful third-worlder
