No. It makes you a nationalist. Tribalism is having 100+ different groups in your country, arguing with each other about what the country is supposed to be and that is what open borders leads to. Well, at least when your culture is too weak to be defensive. A lot of people in the US trash talk the US for example.. and face no consequences. If they went to most other countries and tried trash talking the local government/ways of doing things everybody there would jump on them. Even those who don't like their own country.

  Would it be a bad idea to trash talk Kim while in North Korea?

  Of course but that's different than having a cultural reason... it's a government thing. So the rule against bad mouthing kim comes from the top down. If you go to most countries and bad mouth that country, the culture won't allow it. Every random person will want to punch you in the mouth or do something to punish you.

Nope, but the people who say that you are a racist for wanting a border are the same people who will say you are always inherently racist for being white so fuck what they think. I wish they had already built the wall.

  This is my point. Nancy Pelosi said that the wall is racist. Meanwhile countries representing half of the world have come here illegally. But she won't explain that, because no one will ask her to.

No. The racist part is the assumption or presumed likelihood that people coming in are doing so with terrorist intentions.

  What would it make you if you just assumed they were NOT terrorists?

  Who is “you” in this instance?
  
  If you are a government agent tasked with determining who is here and for what reason, I’m more comfortable with a more adversarial line of questioning for people coming in, although I still wouldn’t want them to “assume” that it’s more likely than not that someone is a terrorist. I’m sure the actual number on that is probably > 1% of people coming in are showing up with bad intentions. We can argue the true amount, but I can’t even imagine it would be in the double digits, in terms of percentage.
  
  If you’re just a civilian, I’d say there’s a good likelihood that assuming they aren’t terrorists would make you a logical, rational person capable of critical thought and not highly susceptible to politically motivated fear mongering.

Not at all, assuming you don't profile people based on their religion. During 9/11 in NYC, I saw Sikhs, the Indians with the turbans, being attacked and having their businesses destroyed due to the ignorance of thinking that they were Muslim. Even if they were Muslim, the amount of Muslims that are actually terrorists is so infinitesimally small compared to approximately 1/3 of the world's population that are just like you and me, and they despise what these terrorists represent and how people view their religion as a result.

If they are from the Global South, brown, or black POC then yes you are a racist.
They only way to not be a racist is to accept the terrorists if they are POC.

No, it means you have a good understanding of just what exactly is a country. A country without a border is not a country.
