Plus, the European far-right tends to be racist.

As does the European far left. Extremists generally tend to be racists and (especially) antisemitic.

But, yeah, I know what you're getting at. There's that whole "blood and soil" aspect to European conservatism (and the European experience generally) stemming from the more or less tribal origins of most European nations that is foreign to the American experience, we being a nation of immigrants, malcontents, mutts and mutants. [Cue Bill Murray speech from Stripes.]
