This is true. I think European-Americans need to reconnect with their roots and build a greater understanding of European culture. We do see this in specific ethnic diaspora communities, which is certainly good and should be encouraged. It just needs to be expanded to European-Americans in general, without descending into "white nationalism" or whatnot.

"Love for a man's own nation must not make a man into a wild animal, which tears down and provokes revenge; it must make him more noble, so that he can gain the respect and love of other nations for his nation. Therefore love toward your own nation is not contradictory to love for the whole of mankind; they complement each other. All of the nations are children of God."
--Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac, 1938
