You learn it by your parents and grandparents, how to celebrate birthday and christmas. It's nothing you learn in school. To perceive something as German, you need to do something else: You need to look abroad and see what others do differently. Then you know what is German. Pride is not a necessary thing. You don't need to be pround Rudolf Diesel was a German, or things like that.

@britingermany He's referring to non-white Brits. And maybe you are unable to represent UK people with Indian heritage ...I don't know. But it's a point to think about.

Since the strong link to Canada and US, the UK is almost not perceived as a country or nation of it's own at all. The same as William Shatner is perceived as Hollywood actor, not as canadian, I perceived Sean Connery or Peter Ustinov for a long time as Hollywood actors. They made english movies. Today even language schools move from British english, to American English. Britain is loosing identity, it's loosing the role as the home of the english language. Economywise, I could not name any consumer product I use from UK. I know Rolls Royce - end of list. Even the cheddar is from Kerrygold. Maybe scotch whiskey.

Not really, it's always the effect, people who talk by themselfes are more negative and louder, they bias the perception. But if you ask people directly in a survey, also the 'friends', the positive people speak up.

appearing in a curriculum in classroom, is different from appearance in daily life, in daily jokes in the pub. Prince Harry was kind of the climax. The "hard working" is just a matter of culture difference. An American never ever is talking about working without using the word hard. He is always hard working, you will never hear anything else. While a German is more into understatesment, never praising, glorifying himself, will almost never say he's hard working.
