Are you proud of where you’re from? (1 Viewer)

[Ahsoka]

No, but I refuse to be ashamed of where I’m from, which some people would want me to be, especially these days (both given where I’m born and where I live).

 

[Juniverse]

No because they wear shit like this

 

[badcrookshanks]

Are we doing the most terrible versions of our homeland’s clothing, too. If so, I give you Man who is part pimp, and also tames polar bears while having problems with vision. No, but our garbs are pretty even if I’m not proud of where I’m from.

I’m not proud of where I’m from even though it’s widely connected to art. I think I’m more proud of the background I do come from though. Gotta get some optimism in there somewhere.

 

[Yili]

i am proud of it in a way but also there are very strong negative connotations to the country so it might not be seen as something to be proud of by others

Every single country has a past that some citizens would probably rather regret. I didn't achieve being an American, but I don't hold shame in being one either. Reverence would probably be a better descriptor. Even if one doesn't like the government, which if we're being honest governments as a whole tend to be fairly inconsistent and inept. But there is a lot to be prideful in regard to economic developments and art as a whole. Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art are but two forms of art that the US influenced. How many musicians that are loved worldwide were born and live here... I could go on, but I won't.

Yes and no. Too much racism and ignorance.
But being mixed race growing up, made it hit harder.

I still like my country, because i could be doing much worse off.

 

[Hoemantic]

It depends for what... I like our culture but not really our people

 

[tai]

Hell no

 

[Chaeee]

My culture & history yes. Most of the people too ♡

 

[doll]

It is a BLESSING to be a mexican-samoan princess, ofc i am

 

[eclipsoul]

yes but also no? i mean it's a pretty country and i'm surrounded with mostly good people but i can't bring myself to be proud of something i haven't achieved myself

 

[cocomelon]

yes. india has a remarkably brave history. it has huge flaws right now, majorly due to the brits' colonising, but we're getting there slowly and steadily i believe.

 

[Willow]

Kind of

 

[Panda]

depends on the day tbh

 

[Yuzuru]

I am, every culture is unique. There's always negative feedback within one's culture.

 

[athenaaa]

Not really, there’s a lot of dark parts of our history that simply aren’t talked about and they should be. It’s like we are hiding it rather than actually doing something about it. And to think we pride ourselves in being a multicultural country when racism and exclusion still happens. Also despite same-sex marriage being legal since 2005, and there are pride parades, there are still people who get hate-crimed just for being themselves. We are not as great of a country people make us out to be.

I think im that kind of person that just goes with it and is ok wherever i was born
