I understand my privilege to be able to live in those countries, but I don’t think that means I need to be proud of them

Racism, sexism, and homophobia are still present throughout Australian culture. Why would I want to say I am a proud Australian when all that is happening **now**. Why would I want to be associated with that?
You likely had no idea about any of that. And if you did, then it's an outrageous thing to say. I have Australian in my bio because it is a part of my identity. Culturally I am Australian, and it is my home country. I am grateful to have been born there but I am not proud.

Of course, which is why I think it's daft to be proud of something that has extremely traits. Unilaterally endorsing a country is absurd. The things I mentioned are all prevelant throughout Australian culture. Shocked you are actually doubting me. Have you ever visited Australia?
