National Anthem isn’t a political party or movement.

National Anthem isn’t a political party or movement.

No, nationalism does not equate to racism. It is possible to be proud of your country and to support your country without hating/fearing others. It’s when you add in the hatred/fear factor that nationalism becomes racism.

Racists will frequently use “National” in their party description to make it sound like they are just proud of their country and hide the fact that they are racists.

“National Socialist”
“National Front”
“British National Party”
Etc.

Why not include - Scottish National Party - or is this the exception to your rule?

Not really a "rule" though if it is arbitrary, is it?

Just something that aligns occasionally. A bit like your logic really.
