Except racism also clearly carries with it a dislike or hatred of those outside your race. While nationalism certainly carries the idea of one's nation to be superior to others it does not include a hatred, or even dislike, of other nations. As hatred towards others is so paramount to the idea of racism, as it's the very first definition of the word, it is absolutely a poor comparison. For it to be a direct comparison there must be continuity of belief, there is no such continuity in your comparison. One can believe one's culture superior without believing all others are garbage or that they must be denigrated or disliked.
I'll make a direct comparison, you can loathe the nation of Saudi Arabia and not loathe the people that comprise it.
