Leap leap leap. I can like steak without bloating myself unto death. People can be nationalist without devolving into an arrogant racist.



That would be patriotism. Nationalism is the actual or imagined connection to a common identity often based on a sense of both ancestry and culture.
It is basically the same idea. You are lumping yourselves in with people saying you are similar because of who your relatives were and because of where you were born. Of course, you aren't responsible for either so there is no reason to have pride.
