Chauvinism 

Committing murder in broad daylight.

Named for Derek Chauvin, former Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd on May 25, 2020.
Derek Chauvin, in a brazen act of Chauvinism, knelt on George Floyd's neck for nearly nine and a half minutes while Floyd struggled to live, repeatedly gasping I can't breathe, until he died. Chauvin did so in public, as Darnella Frazier, a seventeen-year-old girl, recorded an unflinching video of the episode. Her video went viral, resulting in massive social unrest across America and was the pivotal piece of evidence in securing Chauvin's conviction for murder. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison.

Carbon Chauvinism 

Carbon chauvinism is a relatively new term meant to disparage the assumption that extraterrestrial life will resemble life on Earth. The term was used as early as 1973, when Carl Sagan described it and other human chauvinisms that limit imagination of possible extraterrestrial life.
Scientist 1: "All forms of terrestrial life must be carbon-based."

Scientist 2: "Dude, that's carbon chauvinism...silicone is a possible building block of life. Just look at breast implants."

Cultural-Chauvinism

Chauvinism, though often wrongly considered to be gender-specific, is simply biased devotion to any cause, group or idea.

Cultural-Chauvinism, then, is simply biased, unreasonable devotion to one's own culture.
Idiot: My culture is the best!

Non-idiot: Why?

Idiot (in a rare moment of reflection): Because...it's the only one I know.

Non-idiot: you are certainly poisoned by cultural-chauvinism.
