Who said the above formula?

They compared nativism (patriotism) to racism, unless I misunderstood?

And in a way, something similar happens with racism and nativism: they have ideas about the other people, the group(s) that is/are dehumanized, instead of seeing them as people (as they really are, valuable).

Oh yeah, "compared", but not equated.

We both speak English along with the majority of America. Its just a fact. Is it intolerant? Perhaps. But is it racism? If so how?

Of course it isn't. But it is interesting to note that very often translation into other languages is provided and fairly often the only European language involved is Spanish. No translation into German, French, Italian or anything else.

You really don't know why that is?

It's always a hoot that the folks who go on rants about speaking English tend to be the ones who cannot spell basic words in English and have an abysmal understanding of grammar. I think Donald's likely exacerbating this problem with his Tweets.

Patriotism is racism? Sounds like anti-murican propaganda.

Not in the above ^...no big deal though...shalom brother.

Yes, correct. Is patriotism wrong?

Only if it keeps one from loving their neighbor as themselves.

Patriotism does not equate to or require nativism.

Not the constituency for those languages.

If nativism is not about patriotism or racism, what is it about?

Are there any examples of this happening?
