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.
Beliefs and policies favoring native-born citizens over immigrants.
By the 1850's, nativism became an open political movement pledged to vote only for "native" Americans, to fight Catholicism, and to demand a 21-year naturalization period. (pg, 108,ISBN:0130418692)
