To be honest, I'm not really sure what the difference between 'nationalism' and 'patriotism' is, so what I say now may just be completely wrong, so if it is I'm sorry ^^;
But if nationalism is somewhat similar to patriotism, then I can't say that quote by Shakira has applied to me at all... in fact the opposite!
