common ethnic bias
Explanation:
The context suggests ethnic issues, rather than national ones.

Ethnic bias has two meanings: 1) preconceived notions that one individual holds about another based on his ethnicity [commonly referred to as натциональност in Russian], and 2) a skewing of statistical findings based on uncontrolled factors which are more prevalent among a given ethnic group.

neutral  JoeYeckley (X): In American circles, the term nationalism would not be used unless it is an international political survey. Ethnicity is the domestic yardstick.

everyday nationalism

Many forms of cultural nationalism qualify as \"everyday nationalism.\" Although such nationalism-- dressed-up in culturalist explanations and myths of uniqueness-- does not evoke images of xenophobic tirades, marching soldiers, and military threats, it does bolster ethnic exclusivism, heightened ethnocultural self-consciousness, racialized notions of identity, and an economic guardedness vis-€-vis the world.

\"When discussing nationalism or racism, we can talk about _everyday nationalism_ and racism, political nationalism and racism, but cannot talk about nationalism or racism that is targeted at specific ethnic groups and is generated by another specific group of people.

neutral  JoeYeckley (X): Your first example is an international context, not interethnic as this context suggets. The second also seems to use it as a "special term". Compare to thousands of hits on "ethnic bias."
29 mins
  -> yes, I am inclined to agree that "ethnic" better fits in this case

neutral  Dmitry Arch: 'bytovoi' does not mean 'everyday'; rather it means 'shown in informal situations'

agree  Olga Demiryurek: Could it be just "ethnicism"?
17 mins
  -> Not usually. The normal terms are "ethnicity" -- i.e. "what role does ethnicity play in their views?" Or "ethnic bias" -- i.e. "Is this survey subject to ethnic bias?"

agree  Elizabeth Adams: you're absolutely right-but why not just say "plain old garden variety RACISM?"
34 mins
  -> Thanks Elizabeth. I don't think they would do that here, because the tone seems to be objective/scientific. Racism is a bit charged, and the author could have chosen расизм in the first place.

agree  Sergey Strakhov
46 mins
  -> Thanks, Sergey.

neutral  Dmitry Arch: 'bytovoi' is not the same as 'obychnyi'; examples of 'bytovoi natsionalism' include ethnic jokes and complaining in a private conversation that a certain ethnic group is too widely represented in the government or at the market place
2 hrs
  -> It does indeed mean common or everyday in many contexts.

agree  xeni (X): yeah, that's it!

  -> Thanks, Xenos.

private acts of ethnic chauvinism


Explanation:
(vs. institutional discrimination)

В России еще в первые годы после революции 1917 года был искажен смысл слова "национальность" - его стали употреблять (и до сих пор употребляют) в смысле "этническое проихождение". Соответственно, слово "национализм" приобрело значение "этнический шовинизм", и именно это значение реализуется в сочетании с прилагательным "бытовой". Остальное отлично разъясняется в статье, на которую дается ссылка.
