It isn't a matter of whether one should or shouldn't take pride in one's culture, it is a matter of whether or not that is possible. Pride, as in
self-esteem, cannot be found in something that is not of our
self. We can value our culture, and we can be content that we exist in such a culture, but we cannot take pride in our culture.
