Not true. I can boast of a pure Norwegian lineage all the way back the 1100s, and that's just what we can trace, yet I still travel whenever I get the chance. It's a marvelous thing, once you open your eyes to all the different kinds of beauty that are out there. Yet, this doesn't change my mind when it comes to politics, nor does it diminish the love I have for my own ancestry and culture. This is what I consider to be true nationalism, by the way.
