Patriotism and nationalism are intrinsically linked.

True, but patriotism tends to have less overlap with xenophobia compared to nationalism. 

You can be a patriot and still respect other nations, cultures, ethnicities and welcome them into the country.  A nationalist generally proclaims a superiority over other nations and does not want any integration with foreigners.

There are some like that, mostly far right. I dont think any nation or group is superior to any other. They're just different. You respect other nations, but you don't just tear down your borders and allow everyone to flood in from them.
