Agreed on that point. However, pride should be felt when something is earned, not from random luck, such as being born a white, American male for example. 

Pride for earning something is a good thing. Pride for being labeled a certain nationality, or being a certain race, gender or color, is pure luck.

One can be happy to be what they are, and feel a sense of content, if their luck was fortunate enough to be born in a position of privilege, or good fortune. Some cultures feel pride is a bad thing, and humility is a stronger trait.
