I see... fair enough.

I suppose I'm proud of the fact that New Zealand is a multi-cultural country in that everyone (except the Maori) can trace their ancestors to another part of the world. From Asia to Europe to Africa. New Zealanders come in a variety of colours.

I suppose I'm proud that New Zealand is a secular country whose laws are protected from religious influence and based on Western liberal principles.
