Yes it's irrational since the country of your birth is accidental.
If your parents were from elsewhere would it be 'patriotic' to support anything [i]their[/i] country of origin did ?
Patriotism is a useful tool to wave in times of hardship especially if your country is on a war footing.
At what point does 'patriotism' become 'Jingoism' ?
At what point does jingoism become racism ?
And who gets to decide ?
