Ethnicity is an artificial label created by man-made borders. Ethnic pride (one of the stupidest concepts I've ever heard of) is therefore an artificial concept that has no relevance to me. My standard response is, "So, you're proud of being born in [country]. Would you have that same pride if you were born in some small country that nobody knows anything about?"
I'm half Polish, with German being another large portion of my background. If I tried to start a Polish pride movement, I'd get laughed at, and I think we all know what would happen if I was proud of my German heritage.
