Beliefs and policies favoring native-born citizens over immigrants.

Digital nativism

Mistaken belief that young folks who were born immersed in things digital are somehow in a state of grace and older folks are cursed by their age and lack of digital conditioning. Arrogant and insulting division of generations into different camps first proposed by Marc Prensky but unfounded on any survey data.

With an insulting tone worthy of the original American nativists who hated immigrants (especially Catholic ones), Marc Prensky speaks of pre-iPod humans (digital immigrants) contemptuously. This is simply digital nativism, a kind of generational prejudice that is ill founded and unsubstantiated.

Arab nativism

The notion that Arabs are true natives of all the many countries they have colonized. In Egypt this manifests as denial of the indigenousness of Copts, in Algeria of Kabyle and other Berber peoples, in Iraq and Syria of Assyrians and Chaldeans, and in Israel this manifests as the slogan "Jesus was Palestinian."

The aim of Arab nativism is to simultaneously erase the many indigenous peoples of the MENA and assert that only the colonizers are truly indigenous.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
