chauvinism
My-group-is-best attitude
Chauvinism is exaggerated, aggressive loyalty to one's own group combined with contempt for others.
Originally it meant excessive patriotism—blind devotion to one's country.
The word now appears most often in male chauvinism, the belief that men are inherently superior to women: His chauvinism made him dismiss her ideas without consideration.
A chauvinist holds such beliefs.
