Is my friend wrong?

i think he being foolish coz in this ever changing world of ours the only thing that makes us unique and makes us special is our roots our heritage and what we are....no matter wht what u say to anyone that will never change and instead of being ashamed of it or mocking it we must be proud to be what we are.....people who mock other people's culture or heritage realise in the near future how much it hurts to actually have ur heritage mocked......its funny for the moment but hell soon realise that his tru heritage is his tru identity and then hell regret not accepting it earlier.....i think u should be proud of urself not many people in todays world have the courage to actually accept their heritage and live freely and be proud of who they are....u r unique as it is ....and where ur friend is concerned he will realise soon enough what the importance of heritage and roots are.......
