Nativism is a belief or ideology that prioritizes the interests and rights of native-born or long-standing inhabitants of a country over those of immigrants or newcomers. It often involves advocating for policies that restrict or limit immigration, promote the cultural identity of the dominant group, and oppose the integration or assimilation of minority or foreign cultures. Nativism can also encompass a sense of superiority or entitlement based on one's perceived status as a native inhabitant of a particular region or country.
