My ancestors were Irish and French and I am now American. Yes I am proud enough of it. Why? Because this is what I am.

I am Igbo from South-Eastern Nigeria (in West Africa). Both parents and their ancestors practically lived in the same 100km radius for thousands of years before the colonialists came and screwed things up.
Considering the news that comes out of Sub-Saharan Africa at the moment, I am not too proud to be Nigerian at the moment.
Dont know if I will live to see the day a black nation would develop enough to challenge the other economic powerhouses in the world as a viable rival, not just a thirld world country to be exploited.
I wouldn't trade being black for anything in the world tho, it gave me rhythm and bball hops :D

I'm Jewish of German descent & 3 of my grandparents were born in the USA. My other Grandfather left Berlin in the late 1890's and that's why I'm alive today, as I was born in 1944 and would have been killed. I'm very proud of my culture and religion. We do believe that to help others is what we are meant to do. "Chosen" only means that we should live a righteous life & do the right thing. Yes I could go on and on

My great-grandparents on my mom's side were Amish. My family is not, and neither are my grandparents. My grandpa on my dad's side is a Cherokee indian. I'm proud of my heritage.

Italian, Polish, Slovak, English, Irish, Scottish.
It's hard for me to be proud of something I had nothing to do with. I'm happy with the mix though and I enjoy the stories about my ancestors.

Irish mostly, and all the diverse races that come with being Irish. Norse, celtic, roman, english, spanish... whatever is in Irish blood, and a little native american. And yes, I feel pride in being Irish, and American. as much as anybody feels pride, I guess. I cant help what I was born as, But I do feel a great calling to things Irish, and would love to visit there, sometime.
