I'm just like everyone else. When my people are being attacked, I want to defend them.
There are two types of "status", there's wordly status and status in the hereafter (the most important type of status).
Lineage is just like wealth, status, power, etc. it makes one more respected and elevates their status in this world but it has no effect on the next. Arabs have the most wordly status in regards to their lineage and race. It's human nature to respect a person of noble descent, or a person with wealth and status or even beauty. Thus those who possess the aforementioned characteristics have more wordly status.
True superiority (in the sight of Allah SWT) is not about race, lineage or status, that will just make someone more respected in this life but it means nothing in the next.
Read this beautiful hadith:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'id:
A man passed by Allah's Apostle and the Prophet asked a man sitting beside him, "What is your opinion about this (passer-by)?" He replied, "This (passer-by) is from the noble class of people. By Allah, if he should ask for a lady's hand in marriage, he ought to be given her in marriage, and if he intercedes for somebody, his intercession will be accepted. Allah's Apostle kept quiet, and then another man passed by and Allah's Apostle asked the same man (his companion) again, "What is your opinion about this (second) one?" He said, "O Allah's Apostle! This person is one of the poor Muslims. If he should ask a lady's hand in marriage, no-one will accept him, and if he intercedes for somebody, no one will accept his intercession, and if he talks, no-one will listen to his talk." Then Allah's Apostle said, "This (poor man) is better than such a large number of the first type (i.e. rich men) as to fill the earth."
An important aayah:
O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted. 49:13
