沙文主义
词源是拿破仑手下的一名士兵尼古拉·沙文(Nicolas Chauvin),他由于获得军功章对拿破仑感恩戴德,对拿破仑以军事力量征服其他民族的政策狂热崇拜。而“沙文主义”这个名词則首先出现在法国的一部戏剧“三色帽徽”中,以讽刺的口吻描写沙文的这种情绪。後来这个词被广泛应用,如大国沙文主义、民族沙文主义等,還曾被女权运动的领袖用於“男性沙文主义”(相当于汉语中的“大男人主义”)。英語中有一個對等的詞,是Jingoism。所以經過演变,如今“沙文主義”這個詞在英語中更多場合中指種族歧視與性別歧視,尤其是後者。
沙文主义者一般都是过于对自己所在的国家、团体、民族感到骄傲,因此看不起其他的国家、民族和团体,是一种有偏见的情绪。
Chauvinism is extreme and unreasoning partisanship on behalf of a group to which one belongs, especially when the partisanship includes malice and hatred towards a rival group. Jingoism is a similar term of British derivation. A frequent[1] contemporary use of the term in English is male chauvinism, which refers to the belief that males are superior to females. A less common term female chauvinism could mean the opposite of male chauvinism, the belief that females are superior to males, or it could refer to females who replicate male chauvinism and sexist stereotypes, as seen in Ariel Levy's book, Female Chauvinist Pigs.

Racial Issue in Malaysia
- Have you ever think of the other races in this country standard are lower than your race?
- Have you ever think of the other races in this country are not as smart as your race?
- Have you ever think of the other races in this country are not as harworking as your race?
- Have you ever think of the other races in this country are getting more from government compare to your race?
Malaysia is a multiracial country, until today, racist is still a problem. Many so call "expert" said that people vote against racist issues in this General Election, and racial will no longer be an issue in Malaysia.
Hindraf --- They vote against BN because they were not being treating well by the government and they are forming by a large group of Indian.
UMNO --- MCA has been under attack by DAP heavily in this General Election by saying that UMNO is controlling MCA. DAP has successfully create a fear factor among chinese towards UMNO and eventually vote against BN.
BN Campaign --- No matter it is on tv, newspaper or radio, BN was using racial issue to attract voters.
PKR ---They always say that they will fight for All Malaysian... Are they going to discontinue the NEP (NewEconomic Policy) and let all Malaysian share the prosperity in Malaysia? They have their new economic plan, but they wont want to lose out Malays support and the plan will still dominate by Malays.
Advance countries like USA, British, France, Japan and even Singapore, racial is still an issue and problem which they are trying to solve. And you can see, by the time you and me died, Malaysian will still haunted by those racial issues.
