None of them are extreme. You putting the word there doesn't make it so.
And ethnonationalism is the rule for the majority of countries in the world. The only reason the Americas are different is because of colonialism.
They are extreme by any sensible use of the term. If your nationalist beliefs make you ignore human rights such as asylum, or if you specifically limit the rights of one ethnic group of people (such as India has done, e.g.) while you otherwise pretend to support liberal democracy, that is an extreme position.
And ethnonationalism is _not_ the rule of the world. It is in Israel, where there is an apartheid rule. Ethnonationalism means you believe in one ethnicity being the only rightful cirizens of your state, superior to other ethnicities that live there. Every country on earth has more than one ethnicity loving there, and given that ethnocity is a fuzzy concept itself, any ethnonationalist project is a social construction of an in-group made to exclude some out-group. That is irrational and radical.
