And you can give up nationalism while still living those lives. Just because I reject nationalism doesn't mean I'm going to give up maple syrup or watching hockey. Also, refugees from the Middle East have trouble integrating because they don't really have the opportunity to do so, when you can't find a job of course you're going to get resentful:

Canada =/= Europe there's no parallel. Canada has been multicultural from its inception. That is not European heritage.

No, it has not. Aboriginals couldn't even vote until 1960, there's the Chinese Immigration Act that racially motivated immigration, and they turned away Jewish refugees

A lot of it has to do with borders because of the modern-day nation states where the state claims to represent a specific nation. Borders are part of the function of a state.

Yeah but people don't identity with borders, they identify with cultural heritage. That's why you don't see a whole lot of German xenophobia targeting Austrians the way you do muslims.

And their cultural heritage is linked to that of a state.
