  • You should be proud of things that YOU had something to DO with.
    You didnt have to do anything to be white, you were born that way.
    Whoop dee doo.
    Why not be proud that youre a cool person, or you have a good sense of humor, etc?

    You know, I am not racist what so ever, but you hear so much about how black people are proud to be black, and mexicans are proud to be mexican, which, of course, they have every right to be proud. But, you never hear about a white person being proud of being white. You also don't have a white history month, a month where you can show off why you are proud, where as African-Americans and Latino's, and Asians all have a month to demonstrate how proud they are. I may be wrong, but isn't this racism?

    Not at all, be as proud as you like.. though I'm not sure why you'd be proud of something you had no hand in.

    Having said that, I'm proud to be Australian.. so I guess I have no room to manoeuvre on that subject.

    I guess there's nothing wrong with it. What I don't understand is why you are proud of something you didn't have anything to do with. Shouldn't pride be for your accomplishments?

    I am neither proud or ashamed that I am white...just as I am not proud or ashamed my hair is curly, my nose is turned up at the end a little, my eyes are blue. It is just something I was born with. To be proud of something that you did nothing to achieve doesn't make sense to me.

    As long as you realize that being proud of your heritage has nothing whatsoever to do with anyone else's heritage, then no. It is a matter of chance, not choice, that you were born white.

    Are you saying you're Albino? I think that is just a genetic anomaly..lack of pigment. You probably have to stay out of the sun or slather yourself with high spf suntan lotion. You might be prone to getting skin cancer so the sun is not your friend! :) Happy Friday! :)

    I don't know - how white are you? Kinda of an eggshell? Maybe bone or lily white? I need more information; there has to be at least 99 shades of white and are you referring to only your face? How about the bottom of your feet or the palms of your hands? How about your great great grandfather on your mother's side that no one would ever talk about? Nope, sorry not enough information.

    How can you be proud of something you didn't accomplish? Now it would be a different story of if you were proud of your heritage. I know I am, and I also happen to be white. People would only have a problem with you if you thought being white was better than say..being black, or hispanic...you see what i'm getting at? It didn't sound like you were saying that at all so no, I don't have a problem with you being proud to be white.

    ::Ideally though, I agree that we shouldn't *need* a "Black history month" or "Asian history month"...History should be taught more diversely altogether.::

    This is rediculous. I am so sick of people in the majority talking about how minorities don't deserve days that are nationally recognized where they can take even more pride in who they are and raise awareness and consciousness of their group and it's culture and needs. Whenever a white person complains about black history month, it is so unbelievably ignorant and is a clear example of majority privilege. Do white people not realize that EVERY DAY in America is white history day? Heaven forbid a minority have a day or month to celebrate it's role in this great nation. As far as you being white and proud, good for you. Be proud of being yourself and be happy with who you are. Just don't deprive other people of that joy when a moment arises for them to be happy too.
