Politically incorrect where? The term "Oriental Pride" is in English and I don't live in an English-speaking country. So it's difficult for me to say if it's politically correct or incorrect.
That kanji phrase can be translated in a few other ways besides "Oriental Pride".
東方 = Oriental, Asian, Eastern
自尊 = Pride, Self-Respect
Maybe you could find the combo that seems best to you.
If you prefer to just mention Japan without saying anything about another country, there's this often-used term:
大和魂 Yamato-Damashii = Japanese spirit
Finally, yes I am Japanese.
