ethnocentrism (noun): the emotional attitude that one's own ethnic group, nation, or culture is superior
This was read or heard more than once within the past couple days, mostly relating to Britain. Interesting... I think it relates to Americans for sure, as well as Assyrians (thanks to past experiences). Then again, I think most people are slightly ethnocentric. It's just part of human nature to be proud of your country and your roots. Not a bad thing at all, until it involves hatred of other nationalities which obviously may lead to violence.
