But there are certainly more. Most of those I listed actually offer automatic or rapid citizenship to members of diasporas of their own dominant ethnic group.
Ethnic nationalism IS fundamentally exclusionary, that goes without saying. But racist? Nations that form from cultural, historic, linguistic or other similarities existed before modern nation-states developed. There's nothing inherently racist about their existence, and their right to practice self-determination is seen as a natural, fundamental right in the west.
Using examples like the kkk demonstrates a lack of understanding wrt this subject entirely.
You consider all forms of ethnic nationalism outdated? Ok, does that include opposing the Kurdish attempts at gaining independence? What about the palestinian state? Do you oppose that as well? If so what would you otherwise suggest?
