Pretty much. First ancestors came over in 1633. Not the Mayflower, but not long after. Strong thread of leadership and service for many generations. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Truth is Truth no matter where it comes from. If my ancestors guarded a truth, I will defend it.
If (as is very often the case) they rigorously defended a lie, I will point that out.
If people who were not my ancestors guarded a truth, I will latch on to that truth irrespective of the fact that I'm not related to them.
For instance, I am neither Greek nor Russian, but both of those ethnic groups did a much better job guarding religious truth than anyone else, so I latched on to it.
More mundanely, the Japanese have done some incredibly interesting things with food to make it both delicious and healthy, and I eat it regularly. But they as a people have an awful lot of baggage that is very much on the wrong side of that Truth line, and I want nothing to do with it.
There are no crimes against people.
There are only crimes against the state.
And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.
Adam and Eve were decent people, just you discount that apple incident.
I have no idea what my ancestry line looks like, it's impossible to know if there's anything to be proud of, but even though i never got to have any relationship with my dad, I'm pretty convinced he's a loser so I have to say I'm not too proud of those who go came before me.
My ancestors came from various European countries and I'm damn glad they did, I wouldn't want to live there now....
So I suppose I'm 'proud' of them for being common folk who had the gumption to leave but I'm not especially 'proud' to be bred from the same stock as modern day socialists....
As for their 'homeland'.............No ....
Yes... My ancestors came from Sweden and Germany. We still celebrate the cycles of the year, solstices/equinoxes, seasons, etc. Yule, etc.

I'd have more pride if they would have solved the Injun and Mexican problem when they had them on the run.

I don't think someone should necessarily have pride for something they didn't personally do, but there is nothing wrong with it. On the other hand, I think it is abhorrent to teach kids to be ashamed of their heritage as they do now in schools and the media.

Europeans are kind of defective by nature . Most problems in the US now can be attributed to that . If they ever had a specialty I would guess it to be tyranny .

I'm proud of my Neanderthal ancestors. And the reptilian ones too, those guys rule.
Scots Irish..Northern Ireland..never been. ( I do genealogy and historical research though)
Chickasaw..Oklahoma via Mississippi...meh.

My ancestors conquered this land and took it from the native savages.
Then later went on to conquer the British.
Both the natives and the British, fought like pickled ninnies, so I've been told

I've never been to Northern Ireland, but if you get a chance to go to sovereign Ireland, take it. There's a whole lot to take in, in the rest of Western Europe, but Ireland... Ireland is the place where I would actually choose to live. I've never been to another place where people were just so... nice to me, all the time.
So yeah, in the vein of the thread, I've got some Irish blood in my veins, and I guess you could say I would like to think that, even though I am thoroughly American, I still have a tenuous bond to Ireland. I've never felt that for Germany, or England, or Pennsylvania, or anywhere else my family came from. And come to think of it, nothing makes me want to get up and move my feet like a proper reel.
