Chauvinism

Noun

1. Excessive patriotism, eagerness for national superiority; jingoism.

   "(C. S.) Lewis occasionally expressed a somewhat tongue-in-cheek chauvinism towards the English. Describing an encounter with a fellow Irishman, he wrote: "Like all Irish people who meet in England, we ended by criticisms on the invincible flippancy and dullness of the Anglo-Saxon race."

2. Unwarranted bias, favoritism, or devotion to one's own particular group, cause, or idea.

   "Feminists say that male chauvinism is still prevalent in cultures worldwide."
