While I agree that national pride should be in how good the map is I think that trying to eradicate nationalism in OSM is going to be a challenge. It's too firmly entrenched. Also I don't think calling someone a German is racist, I mean it's a nationality more than a race. Calling them senseless might be mean or uncharitable but it's also not racist.
