Definition
The quality or state of believing that your own culture is superior to and more important than other cultures.
Etymology
From ethnocentric plus -ity (Latin suffix forming abstract nouns). This noun form became common in social science literature during the mid-20th century as scholars studied cultural bias.
Kelly Says
Ethnocentricity has shaped history in massive ways—it justified colonialism, slavery, and wars based on the false belief that one group was inherently 'better' than others.
