I would say that "nationalist" is the more accurate term for this behavior. There's nothing patriotic about it.

  To be a nationalist is to be a patriot.

    Orwell said it well: "By 'patriotism' I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force upon other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power."
