Can an argument be made for pride in one's nationality?

And as an extension of that - one's race?

Just as one is proud of his or her family and their accomplishments but also do not denigrate the accomplishments of other families.

I think culture would be more apt because it is better at defining the psychological 'tribe' than race or nationality; there are lots of factions within an ethnicity that compete and loathe each other, as well as, to an extent, nationality. These are usually different 'cultures' within said nationality or race that are against each other

There isn't much that is particularly loathsome about pride. Allowing pride to lead to irrational action is the usual concern. Pride based on logical reasons is to be preferred then but not necessary.

It's harmless as long as you recognize that it's irrational. Like having a favorite sports team.
