"Ethnocentrism is the tendency to believe that one's ethnic or
cultural group is centrally important, and that all other groups are measured in relation to one's own. The ethnocentric individual will judge other groups relative to his or her own particular ethnic group or culture, especially with concern to language, behavior, customs, and religion. These ethnic distinctions and sub-divisions serve to define each ethnicity's unique cultural identity.[1]"
The world you're looking for is ethnocentrism. It covers culture, and is not strictly related to "ethnicity".
Besides... there's an ethnic difference at play as well. Unless you believe that Caucasians and Portugese are part of the same ethnic group, which they are not.
