But why not - the two seem to often be linked 
if you assume they are so closely linked, we could also argue that Washington was a racist, the French revolution was a racist movement, and all the nation states in Europe are racist.
nationalism was in fact a very progressive movement in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Mixing the apples and pears again..
Racism and nationalism have always been closely linked as almost all racists call themselves nationalists.
But I agree with you about nationalism was "a progressive movement in the 19th and 20th centuries".
But NOT anymore!!
In this century, "nationalism is one of the biggest factors which contributes to division of the nations"..

You yourself say here that, racist call themselves nationalists, but this doesnt mean that nationalism is bad itself, everybody who pays taxes also nationalist, because you pay that tax for your country to give you better opportunities...

I thought that paying taxes and other means of doing your duties to the country was patriotism, not nationalism...

I agree. Why do you think being defensive adds to the argument? Safety in numbers?
