Oh look, and here comes me who says "I'm ashamed to be Polish". I think being proud of belonging to a certain nation is basically arrogance. And I say that as a person who is interested in Jewish culture, sorry for sounding antisemitic. I just like questioning everything.

Hey, this answer is not necessarily only for you (the Questioner) but rather to you (the reader). Firstly, just because any person is not proud with their society or nation, does not make the ones who are “arrogant”, it is just that, some people will be proud and others won’t, and it’s rather a question on those who aren’t, why is it that they aren’t, while it’s simple human nature (dating back to the tribal times). But to the core of your comment, here’s where you got it all wrong, Judaism is not a “culture” (look up the definition to understand more), culture is the collective output of any specific nation or society, and being proud of ones “culture” can substantiate an argument wether or not that’s just an innate human condition, or can be (atleast in part) attributed to arrogance. But Judaism is rather an identity of a people, that has an outstanding and unparalleled rich and profound history dating back thousands of years, and it’s history is such that even from a purely historical (and sociological) point of view is completely justified and warrants anyone belonging to that nation to be proud of that, with outmost humbleness. And especially, from the point of view of (most of) all observant Jews who read and follow the Torah (Old Testament) as written and handed down, being part of the Jewish nation (whether biologically or through joining in) is in essence the cause and reason for creation, and most of all, g-d almighty has proclaimed that he has chosen the Jews as his nation and considers us his first born child. So regardless of how much of it you would choose to grasp or believe, to the very least, that might explain why a Jew who believes in that, has sufficient reason to be “proud” of who they are as a people, and why the same rules and underlying reasons might not be applicable elsewhere. Lechaim.
