Hello Rabbi!
I wanted to ask whether any kind of nationalistic affiliation has any racist connotations , or is there no connection between the two and racism is not just a theoretical preference, but a practical one?

Too general a question. Nationalism, unlike nationalism, is a concept with a negative connotation. But even if there is chauvinism in it, it is on a national basis and not on a racial basis. Not that it matters.
There have been columns here in the past that dealt with the definition of racism. Search the site.
