Nations and race are two very different things. Race I agree is a ridiculous outdated concept that is dying out. Nations are another matter completely.
The Jews chose matrilineal classification as a means of self-preservation. In the days before DNA testing, it was the only real way to guarantee lineage. You can't prove the father but you can prove the mother.
What are you? Does it matter? You are what you are. You can choose to self-identify according to phenotype, religion, nationality, culture, or whatever. I think people who have identity crises are "victims" of societal constructs and prisoner's of what society wants them to be, not what you want to be.
I had the same problem for a long time until I broke free. People are stupid. It's up to you to educate them.
