I hope you aren't using the "everybody does it" argument to normalize, or worse, justify this stupidity.

That every country has its share of people who engage in such backward-looking, glorifying-the-past behavior does not make it right.

If everyone does it then maybe it isn't stupid? Your argument isn't a valid one.
Also, as a person who has experienced xenophobia in over 50 nations I can tell you that it’s never the best and brightest who stayed in their home town and defend it against outsiders via physical violence and harassment. I have a metal plate and five screws in my leg that tell me your proposals are a no go.
No, it means stupid people arise from any genetic heritage given the comfort and luxury to establish said stupidity sans real world interference
