>nationalism is pointless then

Correct. For any ethnicity or country. Have yet to see any good in it that outweighs the bad. What useful thing have we ever got by focusing on race and nationalism?

No. It was about colonisation. Resources. Control. Power.

Culture is part of national and ethnic identity.
