When one questions if "you are proud to be an American" I consider that a question of patriotism.

I didn't ask if you are proud to be an American.  I asked what you mean if you say you are proud to be an American.

Definition of Proud-  feeling deep pleasure or satisfaction as a result of one's own achievements, qualities, or possessions or those of someone with whom one is closely associated.

Definition of Patriotism- love for or devotion to one's country.  

I am patriotic.  I love the United States.  But I don't know that I should be proud to be an American, because being an American is not an achievement of mine.  It was luck.  Should I be proud that I am lucky?   I think I should be grateful.  I think I should be very happy about it.  But I don't think I should puff out my chest about it, because being born here is not an achievement of mine.
