I don't think anyone is implying that when somebody takes 'pride' in their culture they are taking credit for it. The most autistically strict definition of the word might suggest that, but I think it's more just a case of sloppy semantics.

So let's replace the word 'pride' with 'respect' and see how that pans out logically. "I have lots of respect for the legacy of european culture! I am a member of that culture, and though I didn't personally conquer the world and invent microchips, I'm glad to be a part of such a great legacy no matter how insignificant my part."

And anyway if you're going to be logically consistent about bashing pride, might as well go around mocking sports fans for wearing jerseys and sportswear. You're not a member of the team, you're just a fat slob, but you sit there in the stands telling them to play defense? Proud of your favorite team? Fuck you!
