You can call it "nationalist sentiment" all you want. But, "a rose by any other name is still a rose". in this case "racism" by any other name is still "racism".
I guess you posted this to the wrong story then or that is some strong sarcasm since the one thing lacking the most in this story is consistent numbers.
Really liking this novel. The author has spent considerable efforts in eliminating continuity issues and is keeping his numbers as tight as possible. Really good work
