I'll engage with you on this if no one else will.
I can understand and even support national pride, hell, even something approaching nationalism. I love America, I love American values, I think the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are still revolutionary documents and the world would be a better place if every country adopted and effectively implemented American democracy. With nationalism comes culture and I also support celebrating one's heritage with food, dance, dress, and veneration of folk heroes.
But I don't understand celebrating ethnicity. Can you explain what you mean by that?
