Well that's the case for me. Born in Germany and living in the netherlands since i'm 2. Even though both countries + japan have a special place in my heart (because of emotions and familiarities) i'm more proud to be human instead of dutch/german/european or whatever!
It's mostly because there are countries that there are struggles, not everything is because that (off course), but it increases tension sometimes.
