Sorry, you are confusing nationalism with racism. For example, there is nothing racist about border security (the wall). In fact without significant border security, a nation ceases to exist.
- dragonwriter 10y agoNations continue to exist without border security -- and, indeed, without the nation having borders or a state to secure them.
- jazzyk 10y agoI am not being smug, just genuinely curious - can you provide contemporary examples of a major nation without border security?
- dragonwriter 10y agoMajor nations, in the modern era of national and supra-national states, tend to either have their own state or dominate a supranational state, and so tend to have border security (which is necessary for an effective state, though less important to a nation.) Of course, several centuries in to the era of the nation-state as a dominant form, lots of people confuse states and nations.
