Ethnonationalism is disgusting, whether it's a European culture or an indigenous one, right?
If the group holding up the development of this telescope was white Christians claiming it would bring about the wrath of God, we would call them backwards, and barbaric, but because it's a non white culture, we wear kid gloves when talking about them.
I'm not sure that "conquered people still agitating as their former group, against their conquerors" qualifies as ethnonationalism. I think there have to be claims of ethnic superiority, deliberate exclusion of other ethnicities and nationalities, etc etc
In other words, a group of people whose internationally-recognised sovereignty was taken from them under threat of arms is not engaging in ethnonationalism by demanding that some portion of that sovereignty be restored. That's not the part of Nazi Germany that people object to, either.

The double standard is shocking.
