I think its a bit stupid to be "proud" of your race, something completely out of your control. Be proud of personal accomplishments instead. Having said that I don't think you can say one group is allowed to be proud of their race and another isn't.

This is a very common argument that really doesn't make sense to me. While not in your personal control, your parents on the other hand were in complete control. Their decision to further their family and race in creating you was definitely not random. They are a part of you, as is their parents and so forth.
Is it also stupid to be proud of, say, the lunar landing? You had no hand in it, but it is definitely a part of you. What emotion should people feel?
