national pride

is your country a proud country? do you feel any pride for being a citizen of a particular country?

i live in austrayerland and in the media, there is an exaggerated idea of 'being australian' and 'australian way' but a lot of people including myself don't take it seriously or care. of course there are those small core groups who are nationalists but they're rare.
and my citizenship probably counts for 0.7% of my identity. i don't feel much affinity with my countrymen. my loyalties pretty much extend to preferring our sporting teams to win in international competitions. that's about it.

I'm not one of these liberals who thinks a TV show is racist because "there arnt enuf black faces", but I believe pride is wrong also.

However I actually have a reason, being that pride for being born something or somewhere isn't a legitimate logical reason to be proud. For instance white pride is stupid. Also black pride is stupid.
