> Ethnocentrism is the tendency to believe that one's ethnic or cultural
> group is centrally important, and that all other groups are measured
> in relation to one's own. The ethnocentric individual will judge other
> groups relative to his or her own particular ethnic group or culture,
> especially with concern to language, behavior, customs, and
> religion. These ethnic distinctions and sub-divisions serve to define
> each ethnicity's unique cultural identity.^[1]
> Ethnocentrism occurs when one culture or nation places itself at the
> top of an imagined hierarchy of cultures and nations and subsequently
> assigns other cultures and nations equivalent or lower value on that
> scale. The idea that Nation 'A' is intrinsically 'better' than any
> other is inculcated in the population until it becomes naturalized',
> that is, a commonly held belief that Nation 'A' has always been the
> best. It has never been any other way, and that all other nations can
> be judged according to the model Nation 'A' represents. Nation 'A' is
> the center and all other ethnicities must strive to emulate it in
> order to move up in the imaginary hierarchy.
