Nepotism

Is there a word with a similar definition as nepotism but instead of the reason for favoritism being based on family relationship, it is based on sharing the same ethnic background and or religion?

Sectarianism is sometimes used, but it more often refers to hatred/discrimination between groups. Ethnocentrism is a related term of comparing all groups by one's own culture/ethnicity (usually considered the most important).
