I am British and some of the things done by Britain have been good, other things have not, but I am British by accident of birth, I have not DONE anything to achieve it so how can I be proud of it? It makes as much sense as being proud to have a nose!
This is generally how I feel, too. I enjoy living here (USA) for the most part, but it doesn't make me prideful in any way. I just happened to be born here as opposed to somewhere else. I also recognize that there are a few other countries that I would feel about as comfortable in, if not more so.
