Pride of ancestry is another one of those "really only allowable to peoples of a medium tan shade or darker", at least here in America. Black Pride, Latino Pride, Assorted Flavors of Asian Pride, all laudable ... not so for any European culture, unless of course, you're Irish on March 17th ... or you're not but you just really want to get drunk.

I think you are confusing "pride" with "violence" and "repression". Nobody had issues with German pride, it was the violence and repression that caused problems. If the KKK didn't lynch black people, they wouldn't be despised. Same for repubicans.
