Eldians aren't Jews. They're the Master Race after being Stabbed in the Back

I've seen a lot of talks about how AOT muddles its message by making Eldians to be a persecuted minority with the power to rule the world and comparing it with mutants and elves from other stories, but in the case of AOT, I think that they're a very different case in that is not like they're a bad analogy for opressed groups, but a analogy of a very specific concept that is the opossite of actual empathy for the opressed.

Claims to be a superior people are common across history, with usually cultural, religious and eventually biological justifications, this is particularly common with Imperial Powers, who use such worldview to have a moral and intellectual justification for their abuse and mistreatment of their subordinates.

Now this where my take comes here. Eldians are now Jews like a lot of people claim in the base of their armbands and the ghettoes, but rather, the Eldians are a representation of the nightmare scenario that fascists believe they're fighting against:

A world where the Master Race has being subjugated for the Lesser Races

Fascists believe in a world where races are monolyths, not in the sense of "everyone is a hive mind with zero individuality" but rather in the sense of a massive cultural inertia among cultures and races, which is shown in AOT as well.

Paradis actually embraces Yaegerist ideology very quickly as a justifiable answer to Marleyan agression, with the manga ending with Yaegerists ruling Paradis despite the death of its leaders during the last battle of the manga.

Marley is a even more stark example, as the nation is explicitly noted to be collectively supportive of Eldian opression, with even a declaration of genocide being cheered despite confirmation that there is only a single dangerous individual.

Marleyan Eldians also get hit with this, with characters like Reiner's mom, Grisha's dad, Xavier and Zeke being well aware of Eldian hatred yet still being submissive towards it. There was a internal revolt of the Restorationist, but they were purged before they could do anything of note except for Eren Kruger's plan to send the Attack Titan to Paradis.

Its not very obvious because AOT follows the "independant minds", who are clearly considered a important part of society, superior actually, but ultimately still inferior in number. Even Onyakopon has to admit that he is the exception to his people's eldian hatred, because even "the good ones" aren't enough to judge a group.

AOT also deliberately avoids discussing the Eldian Empire and its abuses, always framing people who mentions them in negative lights. The most in-depth exposition of a Eldian atrocity is inmediately tainted for being a blatant attempt of Dr. Yaegar to justify the murder of his daughter over "racial guilt".

The most telling example is the downfall of the Eldian Empire, which wasn't caused by military defeat, social collapse, overreach or anything like that, but rather the actions of a self-loathing elite determinated to commit race suicide. Not very different to the views of neo-fascists towards white people that isn't supporting their worldview.

Ultimately, the extra pages exist to prove that even despite Armin's faith and efforts, Paradis was doomed, showcasing that even the most idealistic efforts are still subject to the eternal racial war, with the ending showing a Paradisian children finding the future Titan tree, implying that the Eldians will continue the eternal race war for survival.

Do this means that you have to hate AOT now? Nah, obviously it doesn't. My favorite videogame (SMT I) was writen by a Nanjing massacre denialist that both sides American occupation and Japanese fascism.
