Every family, no matter what it's ethnicity, has its saints and its villains. I suppose your answer lies in just who the individual Irish, Scots, English, Danish, French, French Canadians, and Americans were, and if they lived honorable and productive lives. Then again, if you find some famous--or infamous--relatives along the way--that's an added bonus!
Even if you discover some ancestors that lived less than perfect lives, for example, perhaps a great, great great grandfather owned slaves, you can learn from their misdeeds as well as try to understand the circumstances that influenced their way of life. History is most fun when it is personal, family history.

that question is slightly racist......
Be proud of all nationalities........ Do some research about the people involved then work out which one you are most proud to be descended from.
In Australia years ago it was thought to be shameful to be descended from a convict. These days if you have a convict in your list of ancestors it is something to be proud of.
I have a Greek sailor who jumped ship in Sydney and he was the first Greek person to actually settle here. Most Greeks in those days usually went home to die.
My mother was the grandchild of Swedish immigrants. In their background was a Finnish person. My Mum told me her grandfather was called a Russian Finn and had a long red beard still when he died here in Australia. In those days Sweden, Finland and Russia were disputing borders of their countries. we have since found out that he was from Finland .

American and Canadian are Nationalities not Ethnicities [unless you MEAN to say "Native American" instead of American], and - ALL of them. My view is that if you deny any part of your background you are essentially cutting off parts of your body (metaphorically speaking).

Sorry! No offense to anybody, please don't take it personally.
How come you forgot India, Pakistan and Africa? Is it because its a poor country? with poverty?
Well! Go and ask them, they will tell you, they are proud of their nationality.
Its not the country that makes you proud, its "YOU" that makes you proud of what you are.
Forget everything what I said, just go and ask one of these guys on your list, of what they would be proud of being?
I don't believe a bright, smart and intelligent person like you, could ask such a question.

None of the above. Be proudest of whichever ancestor did the most to make the world a better place.

If this world is EVER going to stop killing each other and live in peace we ALL need to start seeing ourselves as "human beings" from Planet Earth.
Just my opinion mind you. lol

All of them. Why assign pride to only one as opposed to all?
