It depends at what time in American history you are referring to. But yes, initially nativism was the feeling of superiority from the WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) stock. As time went on, around the 1900s, the Irish and Italians joined that group to some extent.

Yes, nativists believed that Americans of English descent were superior to other ethnic groups. They believed in the concept of Anglo-Saxon racial superiority and believed that individuals of English descent were more advanced intellectually, culturally, and morally than other races and ethnicities. This ideology fueled their opposition to Immigration and their desire to preserve the dominance of English-descended Americans.
