We all understand the difference between country, state and nation. What I’ve been thinking about lately is how people, often depending on their race, conceive of their identity and what exactly they’re loyal to. I’m mainly thinking about this within the context of non-White government employees and agents.

What I’ve noticed over the years is that non-White citizens of Western countries will express their loyalty to the state (the government) rather than the actual nation, or they conflate the two and then claim to be loyal to the nation. I don’t think this is intentional on their part — I don’t think they consciously understand the difference — but their subconscious mind intuits that they have no real (racial) connection to the nation that founded the state and country they occupy. So they pledge their loyalty and peg their identity to the state and/or the country, but think little of the actual nation.

As our governments become more tyrannical, this will become more important to notice and point out. The non-Whites will side with the tyrannical government.
