What is amazing is that I said Way to take a single definition. /win. What CANT you take out of context, Laihendi? Because you chose this single definition Nationalism
excessive patriotism; chauvinism.
out of these
1. national spirit or aspirations.
2. devotion and loyalty to one's own nation; patriotism.
3. excessive patriotism; chauvinism.
4. the desire for national advancement or independence.
5. the policy or doctrine of asserting the interests of one's own nation, viewed as separate from the interests of other nations or the common interests of all nations.
6. an idiom or trait peculiar to a nation.
7. a movement, as in the arts, based upon the folk idioms, history, aspirations, etc., of a nation
It is obvious that nationalism does not necessarily mean chauvinism, and that chauvinism is not necessarily raceism. I can apply your logic like this:
A tree is alive. Animals are alive. A tree is an animal. (see how they aren't all the same thing?) I find it odd that you are argueing that being nationalistic is racist.
