Ex, just ignore the pc stuff....or just use "other" ;) terms to describe it...works for me. :)
But yes, it seems that if Westerners are described by their nationality , it is perfectly fine...but "other "people, ...oh dear! I think it's funny! :P

Now, just imagine this...if a Westerner would openly say how proud he/she is of her/his country....all hell would break loose...but if "others" do it, well, they are entitled, non?????
