This discussion can be considered finished.

Just to prevent the worst of various misunderstandings, I would like to mention that I have no objection against the wish to feel good about being a citizen of one's country. The problem is that some people try to suggest others what to do in order to qualify for good citizens, with the killer clause "... or would you rather be a racist/fascist/reactionary?"

If you have clear evidence that my general observation and cautioning does not apply to this particular case, so be it.
