I have a strong belief my ancestors (the Mongolians) murdered about a billion people. I have a strong belief my ancestors enslaved a couple of thousand people (the Dutch).
So what? Finding pride in your ancestry or nationality is pretty much useless. Was it your blood that was spilt? No, so don't feel proud of things that you haven't done.
Now, I hope we can continue discussing the ancestry of the Macedonians without this debate degrading to nationalistic nonsense.
