I think there is a problem with Progressivism that extols the value systems behind the Progressive Stack and the moral pandering around that that seeks to denigrate those presumed at the top and elevate those at the bottom without any assessment of the ideas of specific people or things they are elevating or denigrating is worthy.
Progressivism is poison.
On the other hand going to the other extreme and for instances driving the view that everything that all cultures and people who are not white/Caucasian and/or male are terrible, is equally as toxic.
MOST people are sensible enough not to hold either view and know that not holding one does not mean that they have to hold the other.
Things like it being okay to be proud of your heritage and your place in society and not have to hold onto any guilt or seek forgiveness to anyone else, is a good thing. Holding onto traditions and culture BUT recognising that you are a member of society and the culture and country that you are in. You are not a snowflake and you are NOT owed by your country. You ought to always seek to better yourself and be the best member of society you can be and you do not celebrate those that are not. No one is owed anything by your culture, country or society. Everyone needs to work to further your country's society and culture.
If you cannot, it is time for you to move somewhere else where you can fit in and give up the vestiges of your old country to fit in with your new host country
