Nativism is an ideology or political and social thought that defends or privileges those born in their own land and therefore rejects foreign migrants who come from abroad. Nativism is one of the expressions of demographic nationalism where foreigners are never well received either by the whole of society or by any of the ethnic groups of that society when considering foreigners different from them, by geographical origin, religion or any other socioeconomic feature.
This is a largely the result of a tumultuous period in history in whitch africans were scattered abroad y the pressures of plantation slvery and the ideologies associated with white supremacy.
