To verbalize my feelings a bit more... taking pride in one's heritage, in order to lift oneself and others up, can be a good thing. But if it's being done to raise oneself (and one's people) above others, then it's not.
The references to Genghis Khan don't help, because that makes me think of a ruthless conqueror.
