What Is Nationalism?
2. Racial Nationalism
As mankind spread throughout the globe, so they began to adapt to the environment they were living in. People living in hot countries, for example, retained dark skin because it has more melanin; a pigment that helps protect us from the sun. In countries where the sun was not as much of a threat, people’s skin began to lose its pigmentation.

This led to certain nations and regions becoming associated with certain races. Unfortunately, this means that even in the 21st century, some people have their nationality determined by others according to their race. Racial nationalism is also sometimes used as a tool by politicians and others for political gains.
