    Well in my case I never knew my birth family or where I’m from.

    So it’s not about feeling superior. It’s about having a slice of belonging.

          Nevermind, he/she probably has some inferiority complex oder his/her own heritage for some reason and now projects. Nothing wrong with trying to find out about ones „hidden past“, I did something similar with my family name and found some very interesting history.
