      Unfortunately idiots gonna idiots.

      I really don’t get it, what have you got to be proud about your heritage? Did you choose it? I don’t think so, therefore, since you didn’t have a say about where you were born you shouldn’t take pride in this pure chance.

      Take pride in what you do with your deeds and in your life accomplishments. Don’t look at what other did before you thinking you had a part in that endeavour but create your own.

      Really can’t change my mind about that

          And before being born you choose your culture? How is this different from the idea of pride in one’s race or place of birth? These are all aspects of our beings we don’t have any agency upon so being proud of such kind of aspects concerning ourselves makes absolutely no sense at all.

          One can be proud of what he has directly done himself or herself, being proud of something someone else did has the same logic as enjoying a lunch someone else ate.

          Heritage is a scam exactly like race, nationality, religion and all other made up concepts used to divide and conquer poor, uneducated and insecure people

              Lmao, so you are telling me you don’t inherit physical traits from your parents and that these traits were developed by specific conditions in which your ancestors lived in? And maybe you believe you can choose them before your birth?

              Ok buddy, looks like you are delusional as most of those who believe their birthplace, religion or history make them better than others.

              Keep telling you that, it’s gonna help you for sure in your life XD XD XD XD

                No, I’m saying it’s worthless compared to culture, which even shapes how you view the world.

                Of course, not giving importance to race is something Americans don’t seem to understand

                  So races and cultures are separate entities without connection with one another.

                  Therefore we can assume that a Indian child being born in Germany is a pure German since he is born inside the German culture and his race has no impact on his cultural upbringing. His family will not teach him about his roots and will not impose its religion onto him, likewise he won’t be subjected to all kind of cognitive dissonances when he will have to confront himself with his peers and their different religion, ideology and familiar social structure.

                  Must be a nice, cozy world you live in if you can’t see how “pride” in one race or heritage is a scam destroying our world. Can you save me a place? With a sufficient lobotomy I should be able to fit in just right

                    Yes.

                    Also, your “example” is literally not having German culture (“roots imposed”, country of origin’s religion enforced…)
