I think you are confusing American nationalism or something like that into this, and beyond that, I never said that I was proud or that I was proud because of my race or nationality. I take more inspiration in the accomplishments or those with the same roots as me however, and see it as something to strive for.

Exactly, we have adapted to our respective environments. But, appearances aren't the only thing that have adapted, and there is no scientific basis whatsoever behind saying that evolution (adaptation) only covers appearances, or that evolution (again, adaptation) only works for appearances in the case of humans.

What I said applies to all life-forms. Humans are just like any other life-forms, except that we have the cognitive capacity to learn how to adapt our environment ourselves. All life-forms are just biological machines seeking survival, and in doing so, the best among them will create more offspring and thusly influence the subsequent adaptation.
